I hope you profited a nice return First mike , you deserve it. Best regards
Hey Mojo welcome back.... It is time to Pop some pop corn and stay a while ................HERE COMES THE BIG SHOW!!!!!.... Go KBLB!
The secret is out!!! KBLB building up steam for the long haul. GO KIM GO KBLB!!!
Kim has a master mind of knowledge he can rely on to help him navigate through these treacherous waters. The team of advisers will afford Kim the ability to reach his destination. Where he will have a safe harbor for his precious cargo. Heck he may already be tide up at the dock. :) Exciting times RED ~ Git ER done.
Thanks Es, I was a little foggy on the test results but you brought the memory back to the surface for me.
It is interesting to go back and re-read the news of KBLB, past to present, like you mentioned we have scientifically moved meticulously toward our goal and we are moving inch by inch toward the precipice of success in the commercialization process. Kim has done a good job but I must admit the suspense is hard to handle. I personally want to rip the roof off of the facility and peer in to see all the inner workings and behind the scenes developments. We will arrive one day. Until then patience is key. GLTA Go KBLB!
I have been trying to find the news release that showcases the blind test results from Korea. Does anyone know what the date of that news release was or was it only announced in the KBLB video? Also in regards to Amsilk, do we have any patent protection against their processes?
I found this interesting ~ on Wikipedia ~ near the bottom. Attempts at producing synthetic spider silk
Replicating the complex conditions required to produce fibers that are comparable to spider silk has proven difficult to accomplish in a laboratory environment. What follows is a miscellaneous list of attempts on this problem. However, in the absence of hard data accepted by the relevant scientific community, it is difficult to judge whether these attempts have been successful or constructive.
One approach that does not involve farming spiders is to extract the spider silk gene and use other organisms to produce the spider silk. In 2000, Canadian biotechnology company Nexia successfully produced spider silk protein in transgenic goats that carried the gene for it; the milk produced by the goats contained significant quantities of the protein, 1–2 grams of silk proteins per liter of milk. Attempts to spin the protein into a fiber similar to natural spider silk resulted in fibers with tenacities of 2–3 grams per denier (see BioSteel).[90][91] Nexia used wet spinning and squeezed the silk protein solution through small extrusion holes in order to simulate the behavior of the spinneret, but this procedure has so far not been sufficient to replicate the properties of native spider silk.[92]
Extrusion of protein fibers in an aqueous environment is known as "wet-spinning". This process has so far produced silk fibers of diameters ranging from 10 to 60 µm, compared to diameters of 2.5–4 µm for natural spider silk.
In March 2010, researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) succeeded in making spider silk directly using the bacteria E.coli, modified with certain genes of the spider Nephila clavipes. This approach eliminates the need to milk spiders and allows the manufacture the spider silk in a more cost-effective manner.[93]
The company Kraig Biocraft Laboratories has used research from the Universities of Wyoming and Notre Dame in a collaborative effort to create a silkworm that has been genetically altered to produce spider silk. In September 2010 it was announced at a press conference at the University of Notre Dame that the effort had been successful.[94][95]
The company AMSilk has succeeded in making spidroin using bacteria, and making it into spider silk. They are now focusing on increasing production rate of the spider silk.[96][97]

I had er set on autopilot! :)
The naysayers are out in full force. So I added 21k shares to my position today. Here we go Kim/KBLB. GLTA!
Good work KING!
Go KBLB!!
Thanks Zenaku.
Thanks first mike
Thanks Zinc for the informative post and swing through and post from time to time. :)
Indeed Red, benefiting mankind.... one silk fiber at a time.+
I believe we are moving from the git r done to the Got er did phase!!! Kim could go all the way!! GO KBLB!
First Mike- I was wondering if the time of the year could effect hatch rate success ratios? I assume that the eggs are being kept in controlled environments but nature has a way of knowing.

THANKS MOTHER headed that way to take a look.
Thanks for your post. These are the things that we all hope are true.
Thanks IMjinBridger......onward to phase three!
10-4, I hope it is great news.
NEWS = question = How many stages will there be in the pilot program?
I agree with you Romans.
I wonder if Kim can genetically adapt a fiber to create a breathable , yet waterproof raingear. This would open a huge market for the fibers lightness, durability, and waterproofing abilities. Waders ect. Then camo the material. SALES< SALES< SALES
Very Interesting Zenaku...thanks for the DD.
YOU GOT TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU WALK, WALK BEFORE YOU RUN AND RUN BEFORE YOU FLY. Kim is positioning his chess pieces. GO KBLB!!
Up 13% ~ movin on up.
I am HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with the progress and communication being delivered by Kim and the crew. Kim is going to keep on until he actually brings this dream to fruition. "Good things come to those that wait" and I personally believe the longs at KBLB have earned their share of the good tidings that are on the horizon. GO KBLB GLTA!!
"initial acceptance by the technical textiles market"
CHECK!
Thanks Johnny007
:) Waiting on the PR of pr's = KBLB has signed a contract with .......... That will be the day I leave the couch and get hung up in the ceiling fan!!!!
I found that horse you were talking about SILKROAD!!!
Come to paw paw...... lol
GOOD WORK BOB!
Along with this string of hits "KING" I would like to add this one for our long time pessimist of KBLB. The day is upon us where KBLB will do what some said would never come to fruition. Go KBLB!!!
Hey Bob
My worry comes from the timeline. It feels like,to me,we are dragging are feet in a big way.I must say I am new at watching companies travel through the birthing process, so maybe i am just naive..... Anyhow I feel as you do towards the capability of KBLB once she arrives on the scene (Katy Bar the Door!!)
Insightful points...WELCOME Patrik
