I still think some other inventions are pretty cool as well.

Showers.
Air conditioning.
Internal combustion engines.
Thong underwear.

Pretty cool stuff. I am curious as to how they remove it once its in place or if its a fire and forget concept. The inflatable shelters they use as an understructure, from what I could see in the video, seem to be a tad behind what is currently out there. An assembled unit like that would require a dedicated Generator heating/cooling unit just for basic ventilation and comfort.

I think the concrete fabric is pretty trick in itself. I am curious as to what its rated strength is as well as longevity. Very cool invention indeed.

As long as it lasts until we're gone.

Interesting concerns you have. You've obviously spent some time in the woods.

Don't forget the thermos! You put something hot in it and it stays hot. You put something cold in it and it stays cold. ...How does it know!?

Hi shrop,

Quite a few years ago Andy Rooney ( who is an occasional commentator on the American tv show '60 Minutes' ) listed his 10 greatest inventions of the 20th century.

The two that I remember are the paper clip & the garage door opener.

He might have also said the tv remote control but I am not sure on that one.

I did a Google search and could not find his list.

Anyone remember the rest of them?

PS) That concrete building is pretty cool for a 'getter done now' type of thingy.
