Let’s take this from another angle. Suppose each of several thousand Community Science Co-op Inc. labs were to do contract science and prototyping.

I think, that, amongst other things, you will simply be overtaken by events. If FF proceeds as fast as I anticipate, it will be impacting the economy and world in a big way before you’ve gotten to first or second base with these initiatives.
