An aluminum shield enables the amphipod Hirondellea gigas to inhabit deep-sea environments
The amphipod Hirondellea gigas inhabits the deepest regions of the oceans in extreme high-pressure conditions. However, the mechanisms by which this amphipod adapts to its high-pressure environment remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the elemental content of the exoskeleton of H. gigas specimens captured from the deepest points of the Mariana Trench. The H. gigas exoskeleton contained aluminum, as well as a major amount of calcium carbonate. Unlike other (accumulated) metals, aluminu…

Just popped into my head - a memory of an evening, lit but not bright: I was walking and suddenly came face-to-"face' with a person in full Klu Klux Klan regalia, with pointed hood. He was much taller than I am. And as he looked down on me he was slapping an aluminum baseball bat into his palm. Scary? You betcha!!

The blue origin explosion used the same amount of c02 as recycling 8.5 million aluminum cans.
The USA uses 100 billion aluminum cans a year. Of which 46 billion are recycled which saved 5,500 blue origin explosions a year.
