Lee Valentine is now up talking about the Space Studies Institute, which is now nearly 42yrs old. #SpaceAccess19
Lee: Talking about various research projects they've funded over the years. NEA studies, Lunar Prospector (which they helped instigate). Funded a lot of ISRU research. Magnetic benefaction of lunar regolith. Aluminum production from lunar regolith, and glass-glass composites.
Lee: Talking about glassmaking from lunar basalt regolith, and research they did on vacuum melt processing of the glass. It's possible to make a glass-glass composite, with a low-melting point glass in a high tensile strength matrix. Acts like a thermoplastic composite.
