The cool bit is that you wouldn't even need stages, since the aerogel has a negligible weight.
I'm a bit confused if a super light rocket would be able to fly through the atmosphere though

Would be interesting to know how they produce that aerogel

IIRC it involves taking a gel material (made of water and something solid) and changing the temperature and pressure to get rid of water by sublimation without destroying the solid.

seems like it would be tough to >>>/diy/ it

Could be fun though

I've actually wondered the same thing.

Why? All you need is thrust and proper control of that thrust. Rockets are heavy as fuck simply due to the fuel needed to lift the rocket's thrusters and fuel tank. The OP's stuff only cuts weight for the payload fairing and related stuff. It can't be structurally used for the tank or thrusters.

And the fuel needed to lift the fuel. Unless you have some new ultralight fuel, this will remain an issue.

No, that has to do with fuel efficiency.
