Carolina: Like you, I can't remember what word Vern used (short? squat? stubby?) to describe how the prototype would look when compared to a real Strat. Anybody who is disappointed by a prototype that's not as pretty as the real thing will be someone who has never looked at a breadboard or brassbord preliminary version of anything in development.

I'm sure the Air Force and NASA people viewing the prototype will skip right past appearances and focus in on whether it has the capability to test the systems and subsystems. For a hint at their reaction, just look at the NASA honchos who have checked things out and decided "I want to be a part of this."
