"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival."

saw a twitter post last night, and decided to go to mission to get free aerogel. i'm so lucky to be in sf.

its my first time seeing and touching aerogel. its the world's lightest solid and can handle very high temperatures. its used by NASA for insulation in space suits. making it would be a cool project.
