They are fishing for investment.

Check out the second to last paragraph of their press release of the 15th.

My guess is that they have some seed money to give their smaller quicker design a go to see if they get some progress, after which they are fishing.

All talk and no substance at the moment.

Lockheed Martin also reassures me.

Considering the number of sensitive military contracts they handle (assuming they're still in the same business as when I was in the Air Force), I doubt they would come out publicly with anything like this unless they were really, really, really sure they could do it.

They're defense contractors. They wouldn’t come out publicly with this without being really really sure they could get a crapton of money for trying.

There’s no reason to believe that LockMart, even the Skunkworks, has the secret sauce that thousands and thousands of people have spent billions of dollars trying to perfect without success.

I’ll be perfectly, ecstatically happy to eat a whole platter-full of crow on this, but I rather doubt they’ve cracked it.
