Would there be advantages to a tensile biocomposite with
Starlite and/or Firepaste e.g. as a coating or blended?
Can Starlite be used as heat shielding for [biocomposite] civilian rockets, and how would the reentry emissions differ?
- JKCalhoun 3y agoGuessing mach-whatever reentry speeds would strip it, shred it.
