Last week, Amazon's VP of global public policy testified before the Senate Commerce Committee[0] about the FAA's delays in approving testing in the US that they've already begun in other countries. An FAA administrator testified in the same hearing. This comes more than a year after Amazon's initial announcement on December 1, 2013.[1]
This is the same VP, by the way, that testified before the same committee in January on net neutrality.[2]
Are you suggesting he's lying to Congress?
Last year, Amazon hired for their Prime Air team, among other high-profile individuals, a former NASA astronaut, a Keyhole co-founder, and a mess of aerospace vets and MIT grads.[3]
Argue all you want about its viability, but this is not "a press release" or "april fool's joke".
