What? Many, many very successful U.S. companies started off as tiny companies and many large companies buy the technology of (or take over) small, innovative companies that develop groundbreaking technologies, drugs, etc.

sinful, just to butt in..I'd think you would have to WANT to make an airship, in order to make an airship.

Surely LM could have made a mock-up that would float, tethered at 60 feet? Why didn't they?

THEY DIDN"T HAVE TO!

They take money, and don't do anything. (at least in THIS realm)

Think of them as the welfare aerospace company. You give them money for doing nothing. That's about it.

Don't you see road construction crews doing nothing for years??

I wouldn't think they care about GTE besting them..they already have their gig.
