Stephen Brown of NUIM sends the following origami references:
The folding antenna was by Robert Lang: http://www.langorigami.com/
Much of interest here --- I was unaware of the Justin axioms, not to mention the solution of quintic equations via non-elementary folds!
The NASA paper aeroplance was "Arturo's Desert Eagle": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9162771/Giant-paper-...
Thanks, but I think I prefer to take the train ...
Just saw this - origami using steel sheets: http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2011/03/25/rspa.2011.01...
Just in case you ever have a requirement for an armour-plated shopping-bag! [But do not try putting p.13 on a Powerpoint slide.] WFL
