I wonder if it could be used for ships. It does break down over time with exposure to moisture, but embedded, sheathed in plastic it should be just fine.

I am just thinking of just little ways it can be used to cheat on weight. Tent making, rope making, so many possible usages. Police usage as well. They already have a "gun" that fires a web to subdue subjects. You could cast a wider net(bad pun)by packing something this light. How much would police officers enjoy being able to fire a net gun, and cast a net 100 feet wide that envelops everything in it's path?

Imagine using it in stronger suits for the astronauts and the uses on the space shuttle.
