The secret to protecting next-gen spacecraft might be eggshells

Open on VOIDEX

Comments

  1. Veraf: it seems like the researchers were way more innovative than I'd expect from the space tech world - who'd have thought eggshells could be the answer?
  2. Kian: sounds like those sci-fi artists knew their stuff all along
  3. Miad: never thought eggshells would be the answer but this is solid science backing it up 👏
  4. Elinrossi: how are eggshells suddenly more effective than Kevlar? what's the new math on this?
  5. Lunar Halo: That's an odd solution. Wonder if they'll be able to scale it up for actual spacecraft sizes
  6. Elin: it looks like scientists were searching for miracle materials when they stumbled on something much more mundane
  7. ☕️ Rayan: this is why they should've just given the engineers more time and resources from the start, not some genius idea out of a lab
  8. Bruno: how does one go from eggshells to spacecraft anyway? sounds like a materials problem to me not some fancy design innovation
