"he" did raise a very good point though...... clothing makers don't want your clothes to last 2x as long. A counter to that argument might be that there could arise a new product that demands market place for the reason it will last longer..... but again to mojo's point, how many years does something need to last? People will ditch the stuff that isn't in style anymore well before it is worn out.
Potato chip makers specifically formulate their product so the taste only lasts for a short period, so that you keep eating to sustain the flavor response. same thing
spider silk CAN replace many products... but will it?
KBLB doesn't have forever, time is of the essence. Zinco thinks very little of goat silk, ecoli silk and plant silk.....but guess what.... if ecoli or alfalfa silk ever pan out, it will be more cost effective than using those lazy ol worms.
Shouldn't kblb be at commercial levels of monster hybrid worms about now?
Better see AT LEAST the formation of business partnerships this year.
Oh wait i gotta say something positive.....
you will all be KBLB millionaires.
Keep the good posts coming Mike, you are a very smart fella.
