I love this stuff
My brother has some that he bought somewhere online. It is the weirdest stuff. Almost doesn't register correctly in the brain. Its hard, but feels brittle, and it almost totally weightless. I wish it was more abundantly available to the public. I would love to insulate the house with it.Provides 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass insulation

it's that stardust aerogel isn't it? Does your brother work for Nasa? I have a cousin that used to work with the satellite software.
It is the Stardust aerogel.
I wish he worked at NASA. He found it online somewhere. He swears he sent me some, but I don't have any in my possession.
I had always wanted to work at JPL in Pasadena, but one of my old project managers worked there and told me it was very unfulfilling unless you were one of the high ranking scientists. He worked on the Hubble and Gallileo projects, but his contributions to each were so minimal, he didn't feel very rewarded.
well then -- I'm gonna find out how to get some!
(I guess everyone knows what thery're going to get for x-mas this year.)
