If they really saw this as being possible in 1999 why has it taken so long to progress? Well, I guess it's because they had day jobs... but think of what could have changed if it worked 24 years ago... think of the carbon we've spewed out in a quarter century :(
We really need a multi-billion dollar x-prize for tech like this... and make it open-source so it's not paywalled behind a patent.
