Yes! Revolution is here!
This is the premium stuff, nearly every single advanced manufacturing idea has hinged on these nanotube things, including the space elevator idea.

I'm wondering what applications this stuff may have for body armor.

How long is it going to take, were we can just go to a Electronics store, and buy 8 or 10 feet ( or how much our walls will allow ) of TV Screen matt rolls, and just hang it on our walls ? will the picture be even better than Plasma ? HDTV ?
Why do they have to wait for this technology to mature for the Space Elevators ? and tell me more about those Space Elevators,

Can the process generate a ribbon that is wide enough, fast enough to put up the space elevator?
If so, they should think about scrapping the next shuttle, and just put the heavy lift technology in place instead.

stronger than steel sheets, yet a square kilometre of the material would weigh only 30 kilograms Yes, this stuff could make the space elevator/ladder practical.
