There are heaps of other physical properties which could make it not viable for the purpose of venturing close to the Sun.
What about how it bonds to other materials ?
How does it stand up to extremes of cold ?
How does it react with the EM spectrum ?
Does it come in pink ?
Cheers
PS: Carl your comment: "And it seems from the testing that the scientists don't even know why this material performs as it does...therefore, so much for the benefits of scientific proof, in this case" .. is not particularly balanced. The way a compound material is created, (particularly polymer hybrids), determines a large part of its eventual properties. Ward refuses to disclose this .. so the scientific description of this material is deficient. This in no way, highlights any flaws in the scientific testing process. Ward is merely exercising his right to shaft himself in this instance.
