I examined the factors that should go into making responsible decisions around risky ventures in our current environment in my column last month and concluded: “The general shape of risk has not changed that much in the past 15 years, but every time is new. There is no shortcut or quick fix to making consequential decisions at the right time. The elements that go into risk management are unchanging: careful, patient, and meticulous thinking.”

While Flying Saucers still remain an amusing topic of urban legends today, the potential benefit of the flat and symmetric saucer shape (round or triangle, etc) for transportation means of civil aviation has been utterly ignored. In fact, the saucer shape would grant the Flying Saucers some critical advantages over other flying vehicles so that they might become the best option for the commercial intercontinental passenger transportation in the future. Accordingly, Flying Saucers would completely change the philosophy of intercontinental aviation, and thus travelling by Flying Saucer might become a new fashion for intercontinental flights in the world in the coming decades.
