It doesn't matter Cee-it. They are a minimum of 3 years away from getting product to market, from the point of discovery. We expect it to happen, and there will be room when it does, for KBLB and "that" company, to co-exist.

but in reality what they want is a fiber that exhibits properties that are as good or better than spider silk and at an affordable price.

I recently read an email from someone that has been talking to one of our business advisers. You have a strange angle on reality. What this individual stated was..."Each potential market will have its own testing protocols. So, there is no real universal standard."

And what do I read....you think there is a universal standard. Is the desired protocol toughness? Elasticity? Strength? Or some variable of all the above, adjustable according to various weaves? You don't seem to understand the possibilities, or the markets, well enough to know, that you couldn't possibly know about every "potential market." So while it might look good enough in a post, it really means zip.

For all anybody here knows there may be a laboratory break-through at any moment that spins this using a form of laser technology, or ???, that was never even previously known to be applicable for such a purpose.

So what? Is this supposed to paralyze KBLB's current efforts? It is meaningless until it happens, and then they have to produce and market this figment of your imagination. KBLB is well beyond the dream stage.

Leave the production to the pros. They are aware of the pitfalls, potentials, and possibilities, both good and bad.

It is one thing to say we have a fiber, and another to say we hope to, and it might happen with a new technology. Thanks for the journey. That's quite an imagination.....

I understand and agree with you for the most part. But the thing is we already have a fiber as strong as spider silk. So that quest is over. Now the quest would be a fiber that can be made stronger than spider silk below the cost of mundane silk.
So The companies like DuPont that have stopped spending money on it need a lab mistake to beat the fiber itself. Then they have to hope that fiber can be made cheaper than mundane silk.

So now think on why it is that we have silk worms at all.
We know what regular silk is and we can easily produce the protein in goats or ecoli.
We can make vats full of the stuff and they can spin it into a fiber that is just about the same strength as worm silk.
Why havent they?

Silk worms are obsolete for mundane silk. But nobody is trying to make silk in a lab. That is because producing it at the cost of worms cant be beat.

If they cant make mundane silk cheaper they wont make spidersilk either.
Maybe when the Star Trek replicator is invented we will have a problem but for now any company trying to make fiber from goo is going bankrupt.

You cant beat the power of the worm.

DuPont, as an example, may appear to have "given up", but that could change overnight due to a laboratory discovery. DuPont was pursuing a number of avenues and they apparently found dead-ends.

duPont abandoned its efforts a while ago and has no intention of returning to those efforts.

However,they haven't moved on,with respect to interest in spider silk and its properties.

The company is fully aware of the latest developments in the technology that is spider silk fiber.

All the companies are relatively small,once compared to duPont,so it would make sense that they sit back patiently and allow others to do the "heavy lifting" before they emerge in the arena with a justified offer.

This is indicative of how any major corporation will view a technology that could further enhance its portfolio of products,thus thrusting said company further into dominance (market share dominance,that is).

Not likely. Take a stem cell bio class. And you will learn why we cant make synthetic collagen nearly as strong as natural, and thus never make spider silk as strong as nature does.
