Sinful: Lockheed couldn't build a model airplane. They got $8M from DARPA and the damn thing wouldn't fly. Lockheed called me and wanted to do a JV with my company. They told me that they couldn't get their MicroStar to fly EVEN AFTER THEY TRIED TO LAUNCH IT WITH A RUBBER BAND. And that is the God's truth. $8M for a toy airplane that could never fly??? Don't tell me how great an aerospace engineering team they are.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, DARPA is doing nothing but funneling CIA money to Lockheed. The CIA is a government within our government. They do what they want to do and answer to no one.
GTEM and the Strat spoiled their little money operation and now the "government" has shut down the project.
My question is: When does Lockheed REFUND THE MONEY?
No man should be considered totally useless....because he can always serve as a bad example.
