"Never personal" proceeds to call conversations fake and funny stuff.
I'll give you that claiming "up and running" is misleading, but the reporter did refer to it as a prototype and they refer to the new tower as "first fully-operating" tower, insinuating the Ishpeming is not fully operating. That's what prototypes are for, to learn from. I am of the belief that the team learned from that tower, hence the new design.
I can't speak for the previous years, but I can to the Aradatum team. All Aradatum has done, so far, has delivered on what they said. They said they would have a 1/15th model on March, and they delivered on due date. They said they would have operating towers in the ground end of this year, or beginning of next. Time will tell if that is true, but I believe they will make good on that.
I'm sure everyone would love to know every nook and cranny about what is going on, but why would they share everything? This is new tech we are talking about. New tech that could be ripped off if too much is shared, China is notorious for this. You could say "Yak, what about the shareholders?" To that I would reply the valuation of the company on the public market is 26.148 million, of which a large portion of is held by people who work for the company. The people who paid 15 million have a right to know more than us, as frustrating as that is. If one of you wants/is able to pony up that kind of cash, go ahead, and then you can moan all about how you don't know enough. Until then, what is important is that this tower hits the ground hot, and hits the ground right.
