Well, after seeng it on TV I had to have some. This is really odd stuff, brittle like polystyrene, ridiculously light (97% air), see through and has amazing insulating properties.


Aerogel

Wow amazing .............. er what's it for?

Insulating Nasa rovers of course .... now where did I leave mine ........

Could be very useful to my work, depending on price.
Where can I buy and whats its cost please?

ETA: just reading up on it, sounds like its going to be veeery expensive.

It's expensive stuff, a little block like that was $60 (I had some spare in my Paypal account) available from www.buyaerogel.com

I got it posted to a mate in the US who was sending me a box of stuff, otherwise they want $25 to ship to the UK.

Thanks.
8'x4' sheets would have been nice.
