I heard about this fellow a few years ago, but never heard anything more.
Would this material be helpful in Dick Rutan's new orbiter?

"Ward's greatest strength as a researcher was that he had not been (formally) taught how to think."
Most important sentence in the whole article!! (formally) is my own insertion.

Maybe Saddam would be interested in the stuff.
I understand that where he is going is is very, very warm.

Don't always need the degree to be good at what you do!
You might find interest in this.

The paint was so thin it was not visible. Rodd then dramatically donned welder's visor and gauntlets, lit up an oxyacetylene torch, and played the flame directly onto the egg for several minutes.
When he removed the flame, and cracked the egg on the table top, viewers were able to see that the coating was so heat resistant that the egg was still raw and had not even begun to cook. This I "gotta see".

Story sounds just like the story of the Carlson guy who created the first "XEROX" copy. All the BIG WIGS (IBM, RCA, KODAK, GE) told him to go and play with his toy, They knew what businesses wanted and he was a fool......

I read about "Starlight"
But if it is so great...where are the products?
This is the same stuff as the Moler "Spaceship" basicly
a plane with fans to make it lift, but it doesnt really fly around. Moler shows it around, to raise money, but rarely demonstrates it's abilities. The Military already far surpassed it's abilities. and there is no civillian cheap flying Car.
Starlight, even if it is used by the military, would by now have civillian uses. Firewalls of cars, fireproof housepaints,baby cribs, gloves, heatshields. but none exist.

Cool. I mean this is going to be hot. Because it keeps things cool.

This revolutionary invention is that the coating is so resistant to heat that it can make tanks, ships and aircraft impervious to the effects of nuclear weapons at quite close range -- and hence is of great interest to the military mind. But the neutron blast is still going to kill everyone inside while the shock wave blows it to bits.
I wonder what "alternative physics" this writer practices.

Wow...very cool. This sounds like the ideal paint for the Space Shuttle and reentry vehicles.

For the audit showed that the most scientifically qualified of its research chemists had contributed to the least number of patents, and the fewer scientific qualifications the staff possessed, the greater the number of patents they had contributed to. In the most striking case of all, the person who had contributed to most ICI's patents had no scientific qualifications at all. LOL! Reminds me of Milton Friedman's quip that "when you pay for research, that's exactly what you'll get."
The alternative: offer rewards for specific results.

Starlite seems to have insulated itself from success. It certainly isn't burning up google.
