大象传媒

In 1990, a remarkable material which appeared to have incredible heat resistant properties, was featured on the 大象传媒's Tomorrow's World programme. The material, christened 'Starlite' was all the more miraculous as its creator was an English hairdresser with no formal chemical training. But despite huge interest from NASA, Boeing and the British Ministry of Defence, the product never left the laboratory. Lee Johnson goes in search of Starlite and its mysterious inventor.
