Have you ever dreamed of working with and creating things on the leading edge of science and technology? Do you wish there were things you could do today and in the weeks and months ahead to create a successful path into an awesome career?
I've condensed my 20+ years of experience, observation, and learning in the world of aerospace and aviation into ten powerful tips that can help someone get started today and move forward into a rewarding career. I've also included many specific strategies, tactics, and resources that eliminate the initial inertia and friction from getting started.
Our modern world presents us with many incredible opportunities--and needs--for people who want to do remarkable things beyond the surface of the Earth. Even if your ambitious goals are closer to the ground, the strategies in this book that make successful rocket scientists can be applied for your situation.

The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshield of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin.
Horrified Britons sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, and begged the U.S. scientists for suggestions.
NASA's response was just three words, "Thaw the chicken."

A quick joke: what's the difference between aerospace engineers and civil engineers? Aerospace engineers build weapons. Civil engineers build targets.
