    What are your opinions on this? I honestly think this is a load of crap and a huge waste of money. The ribbon would be destroyed within a few days I'm sure. Tons of space debris hit the Earth every day at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. All it would take to destroy this would be something the size of a football/soccer ball. On top of that, planes on earth might fly into it on accident, or it could be destroyed during a hurricane or tsunami.

    What a piece of crap. That's got about as much chance surviving in space than a human without a space suit. Keep them on Earth.

    Well, for starters, it's not going to survive in space.

    That's still not telling how it's stupid. How in the world would you know this?

    It said 30x stronger than steel though, so I'm sure it would break from a soccer ball sized rock.

    That sounded so cool until the man said: ribbon through the stars...
