Johng,
Your last post is faultless as far as I am concerned (well the bit about a classis American Bomber may be a bit rash......

) but seriously, lessons are around.
Those should be learnt, analysed and then, if feasible, no reason why another project could not commence.
If unreasonable, then that thinking is published and made good for the rest of the world to profit from, after all, that is the courage to fail, and Gordon has done that, big time!!!
