Neat: Hubble work was also performed by Perkin Elmer north of here... must have been a great view to behold... all that gold, boldly going where no gold had gone before... how did those fragile onion layers take the g forces, the mass was low relative to its structural integrity I guess.

There's a concerted effort to take gold out of the currency equation, do you remember the 007 story Goldfinger, where they were trying to cause world market panic by de-golding nations.... seems like we're getting there without Oddjob.

interesting stuff Bonnie...

This Hubble gold mylar coating does sound neat to have been involved in but, shhh...some moderation please..shhh..my wife at this very moment is eyeing a $3000 gold necklace on QVC. I hope this comes out ok as I am now typing with the monitor shut down.

BTW when you do mylar coating is the gold used 100%?
