Friendship

Friendship is composed of a most interesting material, one NASA should definitively consider for the International Space Station. Formed from an obscure pattern of various universal components, it links people in an incredible bound. The bound can last for a long time and distance seems to have not definite effect on its strength. More amazing, it can resist many an external blow. It is not perfect, though, and will break. It does not necessarily remain permanently cracked though. Sometimes it will, but other times it will repair itself through either no action on anyone's part or the direct intervention of outside forces.

Come to think of it, friendship would not be a good substance for a space station since it acts in a highly irregular fashion, but would definitely provide the astronauts with multitudes of adventures and space hijinks.
