So while we're waiting for interesting contracts to come in, why don't they just keep the machine running, producing something simple in order to pay the bills (exorbitant executive salaries)?

Flatware sets, for instance, are an ideal, easily molded application and with enough promotion would be very likely to sell through department stores as fast as one machine can make them. I'm tempted to start a company and pursue such a contract myself.
