I hope that people realize in order to manufacture one of these (efficiently) we have to stick with one.
 
I think we should stick with nano tubes and not this- nanotubes have applications in space elevators and civilian armor.  This thing here is too light to do anything, and the information is not detailed enough for me.

Also, strength is done by weight/mass, which means that spider silk has more strength.  They really don't have strength for size, which worries me.

Your statement makes no sense at all. We do not have to 'stick with' one thing or another. We as a species are perfectly capable of manufacturing more than one thing at quite high efficiency.

Adaptability and specialisation are some of the few only things we as a species have going for us. Other then that, pretty apocalyptic, and humanity is really screwed. Also strength falls under hardness (scratch resistance), malleability, ductility and what-not.

What do you mean, few things we as a species have going for us? We have a high enough endurance that one way we can do hunting is chasing down our target until they die of exhaustion. We're no real slowpokes, either.

[Loud Whispers]

Don't know about you, but with current world problems hunting isn't much of a solution :d

[forsaken1111]

Yeah, we've sorta moved beyond hunting prowess.

Regardless, you can go for several days without consuming or drinking anything. That's a huge advantage. Hell, you know what made the dinosaurs such successful beasts? They didn't excrete as much.

Yeah well they were cold blooded. We require much more energy. Consistently go without food and water and you'd die very quickly. 'Sides, we farm better then we hunt.

Not really sure how this helps humans in the modern world, and I know most people don't take advantage of it just by looking around at all the overweight balls of fat.

actually... they were warm blooded, as are birds.

I was generalizing >_>

A similar generalization to "mammals are cold-blooded" >_>

[Dsarker]

You're technically wrong when you say that dinosaurs are warm blooded like birds. More like dinosaurs are warm blooded, as are their descendants, the birds.

"Do dragons have raspy tongues like cats?"
"No no no, do cats have raspy tongues like dragons?"

DID SOME ONE SAY DRAGON?

[Oliolli]

I never use Fus Ro Dah against dragons, partially because they never live long enough against my Daedric Sword (legendary) with a 15-point fire damage enchantment.

[Cruxador]

That's not technically wrong. Both dinosaurs and birds are warm blooded. These aspects of their nature are similar.

Pfff nub, I punch dragons to death on master difficulty.

I'm no biologist or anything, but I find it hard to believe birds evolved from dinosaurs just like that, there is just such an immense size difference in most other then the smallest dinosaurs.. Maybe large birds like emu and the like, but to me it's more seemly they would have shared a common ancestor.
That's what my first thought would be anyway but like I say I'm no biologist.
