Trainer2: “Seems like there will be a time in the future where the rocket engine will be ignited.”
Emphasis on the word ‘future.’ Thompson has a long history of going off in too many different directions: immunity silkworms, nearly-pure spider silk, other variants on DS, all while neglecting the core problem: creating a robust silkworm platform to produce DS.
The last thing I want him to do is to attempt twelve more new directions at this time. KBLB may or may not continue to work on their 4-parent-line hybrid production model. If BAM-1 turns out to be good enough to abandon that model, I’d prefer he take up variants on spider silk silkworms instead of spending effort to develop a mundane silkworm production model that has a far lower profit margin.
Focus on your strengths, not on everything you might be able to do.
