They aren’t producing anything? Zero? Zilch? Nada? Tell that to the automated reeling equipment that just ran 250kg of cocoons into raw recombinant spider silk (August 4 PR).

Tell it to the second rearing center that just went live this week, running BAM-1 hybrids and new parental lines in continuous, parallel cycles (August 21 PR).

KBLB doesn’t run a “pile it up and hope” model — it runs a contract-to-produce model. That means spider silk is being spun, reeled, and gathered for upcoming deliveries per negotiated agreements (see European fashion house request, July PR).

You don’t get government-backed facilities, parallel rearing centers, and material requests from world-class brands if you’re producing “nothing.”

The only thing producing “nothing” here is your narrative.

Why constantly repeat the same stupidity? This is Spider silk genetic technology that surpasses any Spider Silk by far.

Gleaned from the original PNAS. Development has dramatically increased from these older specs, but even from the beginning Kraig is almighty indeed!!!



Dragon silk…WIKIPEDIA

Mechanical properties….
****Dragon silk has properties higher than that of any other fiber ever noticed.*****


Tensile Strength……
Tensile strength of dragon silk is higher than that of steel (450-2000 MPa). The reported strength of dragon silk is as high as 1.79 GPa, which is 37% higher than the widely reported spider silk.


Flexibility…..
Dragon silk is far more flexible than Kevlar (a common material in ballistic body armor). Its flexibility is 38% higher than normal spider silk and is noticeably more flexible than the "Monster silk" from the same laboratory. In percentage, Kevlar's flexibility is 3% and dragon silk's flexibility is 30% to 40%.
