maybe star trek was half right...
except transparent flexible carbon instead of aluminum.

LOL! You know, that was my first thought when I read this! I can see old Scotty now giving up the formula for transparent Aluminum to save the whale(s). I thought about mentioning that but didn't know how many trekkers were out there and would get the analogy.

Transparent aluminum has already been done. There was a thread on it.

See, this shows where we diverge with Sci-Fi, lol. The first thing I thought of was Transparisteel from Star Wars. Trek always annoyed me to no end. :)
