Aerogel SamplesHere's your chance to give back to space! How you may ask? Buy an aerogel!
Now that you've read so much about it, I bet you want your own piece of aerogel. Well now's your chance! We sell silica aerogel samples (discs 2.5 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick) for USD$25 provided by our partner Aerogel Technologies. Here's how it works:
Proceeds from aerogel sales will be used to help support our research and to support space-related efforts (including Yuri's Night) through Space Generation.
