Someone didn’t read my post or at least that person didn’t comprehend or “understand” it. The gist was, with AF funding, if Kim can pull off lab-produced silk there has to be enough of it to actually make things AND be affordable enough to merit its purchase by the government. They simply won’t pay ANY insanely high price for it if there are already viable alternatives - we already have parachutes, bullet resistant vests, sutures, heart valves, etc.. We just don’t know how much lab-made silk can be produced and what the price would actually be. So even if one believes AF funding is a slam dunk, one cannot take for granted that the more important steps will automatically be successful. Time will tell.

Why quote MS and DS stats? It’s known they’re great fibers, but that’s beside the point. Take diamond for example - the hardest substance in nature. If it were used to cover the face of a wristwatch, it’d never scratch but it’s so costly it’s never used. Sapphire coated/infused glass is so much cheaper and does an excellent job resisting scratches which is why it’s used (not diamond) on even the most expensive watches.
