  1. Re:why not construct this on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Well, you gotta dream, what's the worse that could happen?

    BTW, OK the US put a man on the moon, perfected powered flight first and invented the internet, but they didn't invent the automobile, the computer or harness electricity first, or the jet engine, or the telephone, or the lightbulb...

  2. Re:questions on Solar Panels As Building Clothing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know where the whole denim thing came from, this material is plastic based. If you consider that the insulator in the middle will also have to be non-porous to stop shorting out when it gets wet, it would probably be more like wearing thick PVC.... hmmm, nice. Maybe this is why they only advocate it as a covering for buildings/appliances, not people

    As for the strength of the material, it would be pretty strong if the middle layer is made out of a high-tensile material. Mylar maybe? And I doubt you would have sheets of the stuff flapping around.
