It is available but still a little pricey.  The website of one 
that sells it is below:

http://www.aspensystems.com/aerogel.html.

Other companies can be found by do a web search. 

I agree with Thunderhorse Woman in that I believe large thermal 
mass,  solar design like along the lines of the earthships and a 
double wall is all that is required.  After all what make aerogel 
such a great insulator is that it is mostly air, the second best 
insulator after a contained vacuum.

cheers,

max
