Bulletproof Glass in Outer Space?

5 Little Known Benefits for Earth and Beyond

 

Space is a vast and mysterious place, filled with countless dangers and unknowns. From orbital debris to micrometeorites, and the vacuum of space to radiation…or, if you believe in them, the possibility of UFOs. Either way, there is much to worry about.

But here on Earth, we also face our own set of challenges and concerns. That’s why we reveal the 5 benefits of ballistic glass both in space and on Earth.

Let’s start with #1 – Bulletproof glass is UV protected. This means that it can withstand the harsh rays of the sun while protecting you from its radiation. This is equally important for space travelers and the rest of us.

But that’s not all #2 – Ballistic glass is manufactured to be as clear as regular glass. So, whether you are looking at celestial bodies like the moon from the ground, or in space, you want the best and the clearest view possible.

Perhaps the most impressive benefit of bulletproof glass is #3 – It’s ability to stop high-velocity objects. That means it can protect against micrometeorites and other debris that could potentially cause catastrophic damage to a spacecraft or space station. And here on Earth, this same feature makes it an ideal choice for building and vehicle safety and security.

But the benefits don’t stop there #4 – This specialized glass is also insulated, providing protection against extreme temperatures and helping to regulate the environment inside a spacecraft building, or vehicle.

And finally, benefit #5 – Tinted window security film added to ballistic glass can keep either E.T. or criminals from peering inside your windows. In all seriousness, the ability to clearly see out while stopping or minimizing views and threats from the other side of the glass window or door can be very appealing.

While the use of bulletproof glass in space may seem like a no-brainer, its benefits here on Earth are even more impressive. From UV protection to insulation and the ability to stop high-velocity objects, this specialized glass is proving to be a valuable asset to the challenges we face here on our own planet.

Now that we’ve had a little fun comparing the benefits of bulletproof glass in two very different environments, it’s time to talk about the incredible need for ballistic glass. As of the writing of this blog, there has been a double murder overnight near St. George, Utah. The murder suspect is on the loose, which has led to a shelter-in-place order for all residents.

The police are warning people to lock their doors and windows, which is a wise move. What about securing the glass in those doors and windows? A desperate murder suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous, and who is seeking to evade capture, will not hesitate to try and break-in a nearby home. The easiest way to do that is by breaking glass in buildings or vehicles.

This can lead to additional violence. Reimagine your home, business, school or vehicle glass in doors and windows armed with ballistic glass or protective film to create a formidable barrier between you and threats.

According to the latest FBI statistics, nearly 4 million crimes have already been committed this year. According to Pew Research, more Americans are dying from gun-related injuries than any other year on record, with the highest increases in more than a century.

Most security options, like cameras and alarms, offer a small chance of deterring a crime. The major benefit is after a crime has been committed by showing what happened, or alerting officials later. That’s small comfort to victims.

Stop crime before it happens with the ultimate glass protections – bulletproof glass and window security film.
