This news will only generate more interest in spidersilk technology which is good for KBLB. It would be nice though if we can ride the wave with our own announcements and prototypes. There is a major opportunity here for Polartec and Kraig to be first now that they know a date. Nothing better than some competition to help get things moving faster. I’d tell Vietnam, you wanna be first or do you want Japan and Thailand to be first? Let’s go!!!!!!!! IMHO
