Another way to put it is we're all able to capitalise on years of AKP / FBs vague drip feeding that has kept the SP depressed to a lowish range for quite some time.

The R&D and transition to mass production is what it is - I doubt they could have got there quicker. Maybe, but who knows - not me - but I can't see them dilly dallying for any sane reason. The SP might have been cheaper previously if they had painted a more realistic set of expectations and so maybe we might have more shares than we do...but a quicker rocket launch? Nope IMHO.
