Noticed under the Infograph with spider silk/silkworm technology, it states:
Figure 1. Potential applications of synthetic biology in four sectors.
Towards the bottom of page two:

I wouldn't parse the "Fast Facts".
The actual April GAO release from which the "Fast Facts" are derived:
this is what i said....."The military wants a fiber…they will fund the rest to make it work"...
the AF is highly interested in spider silk...they are the ones who are running the project and doing the funding...but for some unknown reason something from the GOA is linked as if it has some meaning or is relevant to what i said...it isnt...may as well have posted a link to the burger king menu...
