Transparent aluminum?

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Transparent aluminum is thin strong stuff. Development of it has happened, it's going to be windows on armored vehicles in particular. Right now the project of transparent aluminum is to make it cheaper to produce since right now it's sort of expensive.

You're on the forum mainly devoted to playing an old science fiction space shooter. What do you think?

The whole point was that the quotes were relevant to the transparent aluminum scene, but I guess some of you didn't catch that, so I'm typing this post. ;)

How tough is top notch transparent armor anyway? The biggest problem with it now is that once you shoot it with something it is no longer transparent.

The way it's going to be put onto armored vehicles is with a sandwiching scheme. The transparent aluminum gets sandwiched between two layers of thicker transparent material. Probably the same bulletproof glass we use today. So, it'd be able to absorb bullets and deflect them. Transparent aluminum is able to withstand an armor piercing bullet from a .50c sniper rifle and other tests it was able to stand up to some cool stuff.
