Need a nice strong recycled material that needs to be disposed of, like human waste in an organic epoxy. ;)
 
Its not exactly a shield. It absorbs and dissipates it so well that it keeps the shuttle safe. I saw a video of when they put a shuttle brick in a furnace. And when he pulled it out it was glowing, then he took off his glove and held it whilst still glowing.

I saw that show too, build it bigger on the science channel for me. It went from like 3000 degrees to being able to be touched by hand :eek:, although the inside was still pretty fraking hot.

But it is rather fragile, simply touching it causes it to start falling apart.
 
dont be fooled- BestBuy employees are trained to mislead and misinform customers so they can buy
the most expensive product offered. Also, you are pushed to get a ******** warranty which is pure profit for them. I was once told that Brand A of CD was better than Brand B because "the CD was engineered to make the bass sound better".

I used to work with a technician who was a Best Buy sales rep. He told me Best Buy makes very little profit on the computer or whatever main item they're trying to sell but their accessories are over priced. So his job as a sales rep was to try to add on $200 worth of accessories and warranty to the purchase.

As far as the warranty, I used to work for a company that serviced most of the Best Buy notebook OEM's that were covered under warranty back in the early 2000's. You guys don't wanna know how many notebooks got trashed

Don't buy the warranty
