Holy crap… I was just looking at some footage of the Stardust probe on CNN and found a video of Lou Dobbs handling some of the Aerogel that they used to collect these comet particles.
This is Star Trek style technological marvel stuff right here… you could see through it, yet it was strong enough to stop a particle flying through space at 1000 miles per hour in its tracks. The link above shows a small cube of this supporting a brick.
Incredible!!
