"Even an old man like myself can really appreciate the smooth soft look and feel of a lovely pair of legs clad in what looks like and feels like Nothing!"

And who could not dig that.
Well said.

"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.

here we are at rope again..fine..stronger rope...big deal...that aint where the money is..

and women dont wear stockings anymore..silk or otherwise..and they sure dont wear girdles for crying out loud...cycling pants?..leotards?..this is the revolutionization of the garment industry i have been hearing about all this time?..

"Sutures that are twice as strong means that they can be thinner and more quickly absorbed by the body"

i wasnt aware that speedy sutures were needed..

"With spider silk for the reinforcing fiber they will be just as strong, but impact resistant.
Boats will bounce off of rocks that used to shatter them"

well thats the dream allright...but i hope no one takes that comment seriously..

"Car bodies will need fewer repairs"

there will be just as many repairs...they may not be as extensive but i guarantee you they will be more costly...

"Even air bag active crash restraints will improve. Lighter weight will mean faster deployment"

faster deployment is not what they are after...they are fast enough now...they can already make them faster if they want...they dont want...

"and the smooth stretch of spider silk will cause fewer air bag induced lacerations"

people get scratched up a bit sometimes with airbag deployments but i doubt that will change much with spider silk..after all, there is an accident involved with the air bag deployment...

skate boards and tents??..come on...

An absolutely breathtaking expose! We have a lot of empty brick and mortar in our town that we could use for sericulture on an industrial scale.
