Any substance is useable, such as hemp making a nice rope, where as sand doesn't quite give you the same lift.....

Next time you read the date, make sure to double-check the year. That thread is from February 2002.

I still find it ironic that in ST4, the matrix for Transparent Aluminum was made on a Apple Macintosh.

I'm not sure I'd *want* his body mass to replace styrofoam in *any* of the current applications of the stuff...
As for transparent aluminum applications, the "gunsight" one suggested in the article might offer a great way to simulate desert sandstorm fighting conditions. For combat applications other than that, I'd prefer something that was actually *clear* and not just "transparent".
