On the topic of the thread, I’d prefer to work in stealth mode, but that’s a luxury that comes with abundant financing, which we don’t have. In fact, we could use a white knight (or a crazy old coot for that matter, as long as he’s accredited :)) to drop a few hundred thousand bucks on us. Progress doesn’t happen without resources, equipment, personnel, and ideas. We have the personnel, equipment and ideas, but we won’t make it too much farther with our current funding. It would be sad to have to stop work when we are so close. Therefore, we won’t be going into stealth mode in the foreseeable future.

It amazes me how some projects get millions in funding when the science behind them is questionable at best. Other projects (like this one) struggle to get mainstream attention and funding when the ideas behind them are sound. Fortunately for LPP, our investors are a pretty intelligent and fore-thinking lot, and have seen this project as a good bet. I just wish a few more people like that would come out of the woodwork right about now.
