The oil company bought it. A car company bought it......and so on. Same urban legend, just with a slightly different twist.

If you ask NASA about it they will deny everything, but it did happen. | except publications like Janes did their own tests and published them Quote:
Jane's International Defense Review, April 1, 1993, p. 328; "Taking the Heat: Astonishing Results with New Material"
Modern Plastics, June 1994; "NASA, DOE To Test Nuke-Proof Resin"
| etc
you can be a doubting thomas all ye want but you cant deny that credible institutions have tested and confirmed results and even say so
edit: been googling
a lot of people think its either a hoax or that the british/us govt. had classified starlite so no news could be found
anyway this guy with his own website itold did investigating of his own http://itotd.com/articles/653/starlite/
it has a lil more information its interesting if you're interested in this story 
apparently the itold.com guy even had a discussion with the Janes defense article author
and she also fears that the product may have been taken by the govt and classified and she says that was also a fear of Maurice Ward the inventor hence why he got/allowed publicity for it back in the 90s

This material could literally create industries with a removal of the limitation of current materials' heat tolerances. If I'm going to make hundreds of already-rich people rich (the shareholders) why shouldn't I go along for the ride?

^^^ theres no news of him being dead except for supposedly a youtube comment
and a guy who created/edited a wiki page
you would think the attention he's gotten would result in a news article somewhere about his death (hell the BBC did a story on him last June because he said he had an idea for the BP spill)

Hilarous that he would think BP would shell out billions for his invention when they are just pumping concrete in to plug the leak which costs fuck all.
Total overkill like titanuim chopsticks.

Just so you guys know, I'm the one, holding back car that runs on water and perpetual energy generators. I'm hiding the fact that Obama was born in Mecca.
Tupac, Biggie, MJ and Elvis live in my basement studio making records
The Philadephia experiment is AKA the building of my yacht and 9/11 was me doing renovations (sorry my hand slipped)
I know people tell you guys that it's big oil, the jews, the aliens, the US govenment etc.
Well that's sort of true but they're only doing it because I told them to. Yes the conspiracy is that deep.

What the fuck does it really matter to him how much it's worth after he's gone. Might as well get a small share and live the rest of his life wealthy instead of wasting time getting nothing.

The value of something is only as much as someone else is willing to pay for it.
Over 20 years, no pay off. Obviously his approach hasn't been working out.
