"If Lockheed's CEO commented about a deal with us in a PR..it would seem pretty credible to me" I agree, if it came from a PR from Lockheed and not just Globetel. Weren't you the one who asked about the Delta Aero relationship and couldn't get a straight answer at the shareholders meeting.
Lockheed is past tense. They got their little $150M gift from DARPA and have moved on down the road. They'd rather be building $150M fighter aircraft than blimps anyway.
Have you noticed that Lockheed got the bucks, but conveniently forgot to return the money to the taxpayers???
I want a refund! Of course, they didn't return the $8M to DARPA when their MicroStar MAV became a total FAILURE either.
