What's the application of having spider silk proteins in goat milk?

You can make spider silk out of it.

Because spiders are small and challenging to domesticate.

I like how it says "playing god" at the end. This playing god shit is hindering scientific
progression. I can't believe people actually think the shit they see in scifi movies about the
horrors of "playing god" are real. Like we're gonna wake up one day and shit will be crazy or
something.

Spider silk sized up to scale, would be like 3 or 4 times stronger than steel cable IIRC. Also
its extremely soft giving it a lot of potential for textiles. However since spiders produce sush
tiny amounts of what what would be required to make fabric out of it, this is a more economic and
efficient way of doing it.

Well, there's the Africanized Bees, AKA Killer Bees, which broke loose from laboratory
containment and now plague the world with their extremely aggressive behavior, endless stinging
potential, and oh so delicious honey.

While spiders do produce silk and some spider species, such as the orb weaver, are safe to
capture and 'milk' silk from, it's the quantity and type of silk produced that sets the Spider
Goats apart. IIRC, the spider goats are spliced with black widow genes, which produce a web with
a much higher tensile strength - so strong, that you can create bullet proof vests from thickly
woven panels of the stuff. Goats can also be milked every day, and generate goats milk as a by
product of the silk farming, which can be sold to offset costs of straining the spider silk
proteins from the goats milk. A spider, on the other hand, can only create a web the size of your
head in a few days, and needs to consume insects and rest before doing it again. Meanwhile, your
spider goat farm can produce enough spider silk per day to make a yard of silk, I believe.
Haven't got a source on the quantities, though.

God will punish us all for this. I'm not joking about that at all. If you think the muslims
executing us, the earthquakes, the tornados, the hurricanes, and the democrats in power are
coincidence, you need to read Revelations. King James version of the Baptist bible.
Read it and fear your God. It's the only way to have eternal life after the great grape press.

Once there was a Robe made entirely from Golden Orb weaver Silk.
All Craftsmanship is of the highest quality. Its adorned with rings of Golden Orb weaver Spider
Silk.

That is simply stunning... I've always wondered what such a thing might look like. Amazing fabric.

Have you ever seen a spider web?
There's barely any silk in one of those.
If you want to make anything significant out of it, as a manufactured product, you are going to
need a lot more.

This Video is pretty much the same as the lower one on the first link, I'll post it anyway.

I also think this is breathtaking, I wish I had a chance to touch the fabric or pull on it once.
I imagine its surface to be even smoother than Silkworm Silk. Also its golden shine is just
astonishing.

I feel like it would be a much simpler process to just reverse engineer the spider silk process
to create a synthetic fiber. It doesn't seem like it would be to hard with today's technology and
there's a higher chance of refinement and advancement. This just seems like the one guy who
wanted to think differently at the cost of efficiency.
