LOL the badge saying "ask me about Kevlar" let me guess its her old lady trap so she can make you sit down for a cup of tea and talk for 10,000 years

[@Comrade_Dad]

How is this video not more popular?!

[@jamesjross]

Its anti gay rhetoric

[@jamesjross]

and its a bit shit

[@Binarik0]

"Yeah, acting" ^_^ it was so cute

[@chuckbade4486]

I want to fix your clock, but then I realize it would look silly jumping forward spastic-ly as it takes a lot longer to create each episode than the little bit of time it takes me to watch it. Love your series.

[@justinturner3959]

Your toph reference earned my subscription. Can't wait to binge your channel. Thanks

[@CarsSimplified]

Just discovered this channel, and this is the first video I've watched. I can already tell that your current 144 subscribers is nowhere near the amount this channel should have. Subscribed!

[@JohannaHowes]

Cars Simplified thank you so much!! There are more videos coming soon so stay tuned 😀

[@jessicametzger798]

Thanks for this video!

[@Comrade_Dad]

The most British start to a video I have ever seen.

[@JohannaHowes]

Haha! My British mother is so proud

[@firedirewolf]

writing a personal novel of stuff, this was really cool, thanks... now we just need to create a version of kevlar air tight and strong enough to resist the vacuum and we'll have zeppelins that are more of a risk suddenly dropping rather than exploding, a crash is far more likely to be walked away from than a burning, explosive crash lol

[@mrbeanbigpeanus6875]

She should even received a nobel prize !!! Even I can’t understand how it works after watched the video !!

[@kilokal5978]

best video on yt on this subject

[@Sneaky5.sl0w.]

There's a new Kevlar material that Dupont just debuted the other day

[@junminnie]

Is Kevlar thermoset or thermoplastic

[@JohannaHowes]

This is a GREAT question Jun. I had no idea so I did a bit of reading - it's actually neither because it's a fibre.

[@AnaCarolinaRodriguesOficial]

Hi, your video is sensational :) thank's

[@uticatechclub923]

Thank you! I absolutely like it. Love of science brought me to the love of Jesus! I hope to continue doing science in heaven :)

[@celestialchord]

Subscribed because of the Melon Lord!! and also because chemistry

[@equarg]

She "accident" is still saving police officer lives, being used by NASA, and in aircraft airframes. May she RIP knowing her legacy lives on AND saving lives.

[@hebrewhammer1000]

Thank you so much for sharing. I love the format. I'm excited to bing watch your video's.

[@JohannaHowes]

Good news for you then! The videos will be back soon! :)

[@JohannaHowes]

May there be many more to come soon!

[@PwrTrumper]

U r amazing this series is so great

[@JohannaHowes]

Thank you! I'm hoping to come back soon - stay tuned

[@lifesimulator3964]

Why are there so many conspiracy theorists in the comments?

[@tdestroyer4780]

Fragmented media due to the internet. Embrace it.

I've heard that kevlar was the result of us back engineering tech originating from the Zeta Retuculi binary star system.. plantet Zeta-2 tech crashing onto planet Sol-3. (earth). These form-fitting one piece suits the grays were wearing had no seams. they could not tear, or burn. Layered bullets even did not go through! there was a lot of really amazing features to this stuff. Although because we come from Earth we did not have the necessary materials to make the exact fibers that they have to make their suits.. So Using the closest materials we had to compare it to, (from DuPont then in the 50s) was basically oil based products mixed with polymer plastic compounds.. because the government themselves Don't Know Jack schitt about certain things like fibers, and technical stuff, that meant they had no choice but to go to DuPont and basically ask for help secretly. So that's why certain scientist from DuPont had to be involved. they had to find ones that would shut their mouth go along with the program and would want the fame and they found a female who is willing to go along with the ploy that she invented it by telling her that the good that it would do for Humanity and the good that it would do for women's rights as it would make her seem you know very empowered and smart and that a woman can do anything a man can do what she has is true I'm not I'm not a sexist I believe men and women are equal but at the time in the 50s that wasn't the way the case widespread so this was her way of being able to help women's rights as well as help Humanity. Our version of Kevlar isn't as good as the aliens version of what they had though ours resist Burns and heat and ours resist Cuts but it's not completely as good as the alien version of the same technology they're fibers that they've made from their polymers that we cannot reproduce basically are completely cut through completely tear proof completely burnt roof ours are very close to that but nowhere near as effective as there's. All of this is speculation and Theory I don't know how much if it's true but that's what I personally have heard how it all went down with Kevlar. this is around the same time they came up with microprocessors and circuitry and stuffing just kind of a coincidence that all this stuff rose up out of nowhere at the same time.. really makes you think huh sorry for the long paragraph but I had to say something I love aliens and talking about that sort of thing is fun to dream and Wonder

[@pigknickers2975]

Hey man, appreciate your little lecture there. It's what I'm looking into at the moment. Interesting how they filter these alien techs through companies like Bell Labs and DuPont. I'm an electronic engineer and think transistors were alien tech as were processors, Lasers, night vision - the usual list. Didn't hear about kevlar until recently. I read the Corso book and that started me thinking.

[@yellowcactustvz4929]

It is fantastic to see conspiracy theorist telling bullshit and then just thinking they are geniuses. "I've heard"

[@mcearl8073]

DRAMA L!VE Cool story. It’s almost certainly all bullshit but it’s fun to read. I just can’t comprehend how anyone from another star system could have ever made it to earth to crash, the distances are really inconceivable, even if they were able to go lightspeed which seems impossible. If they are somehow warping here or something like that or bending space I just don’t understand how that could work and not wreck everything around it. I know according to the laws of physics it’s theoretically possible to bend space and go through a wormhole but being theoretically possible doesn’t mean it’s actually possible.

Fuxking idiots

[@bruhno1545]

Who told you 💀 ur fairy god mother. Damn some people just can't stand the success of others. I'm pretty sure u spewed all that bs she was a woman, the ego of some males is so out of the world they would rather believe in the existence of some alien crash but not that kevlar was actually invented by a woman.

[@livsstilen]

Why would you put more importance in the gender of an individual than the work itself? who cares? Do you vote the same way? The gender of the next prime minister is more important than the politics? Who cares? No matter how you twist it, men don't need women to thrive and survive. But women DO need men.

[@bruhno1545]

Naw looking at the fact that women actually live longer and most of their de@ths young are caused by men m*rdering and r@ping them, trafficking and female inf@nticide etc pretty sure u all are also the reason why women can't thrive and survive peacefully either. And the fact kevlar is still saving lives through bullet proof vests and what not kinda implies women did help men in surviving and thriving so stfu. Plus try doing that, a good majority of the workforce especially healthcare and education is female, the immediate disappearance would enfeeble the economy and becuz u can't replace those workers as ofc there is no reproduction so it's also hard getting ur economy back on its feet and then we u all go extinct, nice surviving and thriving 💀. And ur just butthurt tbh, she didn't make it about gender it's becuz it was hard for women to actually step forward and do something becuz of society, men were educated and supported by society, women weren't educated and if they tried to do something great society would push them back that's why people mention race or gender when it comes to certain groups becuz their race and gender was one biggest reason for their struggle. Plus let's not generalize, human race wouldnt even care if u d!ed rn but it would affect us greatly if Stephanie kwolek wasn't ever born so no ur not more important than a woman, drop that self entitled extremely egoistic attitude 💀

[@lormanias6395]

Aliens gave us Kevlar

[@pigknickers2975]

this is what I'm looking into. Love how this vid has bolted 'gender identity' on to it!

[@kali6651]

False.

[@felixfelicitus2411]

people like this are the reason millennials have gotten a bad reputation...

[@swahi2702]

Why? she's happy. Contrasts to the usual doom and gloom of most millennials.

[@greghawkins1025]

Sop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names. Anyway, you just got the government's "official" story. The true story's that Kevlar, fiber optics, & integrated circuits were discovered on a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico. The government wanted to reverse engineer this stuff & mass produce it, but they had to be able to explain where it came from, So, they came up with a cover story & selected Steffy to claim that she invented it. If she went along with the story, she'd get rich & famous. If not, well, she'd be found dead & a staged suicide or accident. It was a offer that she couldn't refuse.

[@yellowcactustvz4929]

you think you should call scientists from their last name? aniway, you know that's bullshit, that's just a conspiracy theory, and you are a idiot

[@kali6651]

Lmaoo. Take your medicine dude.
