Aren't we running out of sand? How is this a sustainable option.
- We're running out of concrete sand, glass sand doesn't have to be as picky because you're melting it
  
  So "technically" right but not "completely" right. Thanks for the explanation.
- This was Anakin's plan along
- Aerogel isn't made our of sand
  
  It's made from sodium silicate... Which is made from sand.
  
  Aerogel is also 99% air. So not much sand.
  
  Great, now we're going to run out of air
  
  But will the shareholders be ok?
