Who wants to have the lightest and strongest TT?

[LukeHuff]

I think i found the material.
Strong as Steel.
About as light as Air.

It's what NASA used to catch comet particles a few years ago. Pretty amazing to think something composed of 99.8% air catch stop a particle moving 6 times the speed of a rifle bullet.

But at 98% air, a pound would be a pretty large volume, about 12.5 cubic feet.

Aerogel is a really neat substance, but it out dated these days, NASA and the Defense department have superior "materials" now, as for building a TT out of an alloy, there are a few hybrid Mil Spec alloys available, i have seen , that exceed that the strength of 4130, the problem is they are either very brittle or are un weldable...
