If real this would be very useful to anyone looking for a better way to deal with the heat from re-entry.
You ain't kidding! It weighs practically nothing and protects wonderfully. Fragile spun glass tiles like on the shuttle and ablative heat shields would be a thing of the past. Of course more tests have to be run though, like how does it handle re-entry at 17,000 mph; will it have enough adhesive power to keep from getting torn off the spacecraft.
