I love this. While we are talking Neat! glass: Ball Aerospace is where you want to focus for a sec as well. Ball aerospace basically is the secret tech gian few know about - specifically in their high-end lenses for all the nifty spy thingies... But the Ball Brothers did a bunch of other nifty things - my favorite being the Mason Jar. -- What I like about this story, is how it reignites the vision I have for a stackable Mason Jar thats unbreakable such as the German glass. - but as a core packaging line. I have a large number of mason jars as my primary drinking vessels - but I want a service, like the milk-men of olde, and have a fully functional closed loop product, package delivery infra built on high tech mason jars, stackable, made from unbreakable-ish things, inclusive of glass foams (aerogels in the walls based on 3d printing a microfoam of glass then encasing it... and having a ceramic induction coil in the base of the glass so you can use an induction coaster (of varying size) to heat/ cook that which is in the mason jar... the jars interlock so you can stack extension tubes onto them. but all based on mason jar everything. aside from the hyper stackable. (Also I noteced that the drop science behind that beer glass is that it provides the lip for you to rest it in your hand, and its designed to not break from the angle that a drunk person most typically drops his drink - too drunk, and has a week grip - so it just slips straight down... mostly) https://www.ball.com/our-company/our-story/history-timeline https://www.ball.com/our-company/our-story/history-timeline https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-selects-ball-aerospace-to-develop-noaas-geoxo-sounder-instrument/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-selects-ball-aerospac...
