Yes it is CJ, but not for us I'm afraid, other entities will have got the best part of the deal and cheaply as you say, we just paid to keep it afloat until this time came along.

Thanks for the comments ewere, I honestly do believe there was something behind why the tech never surfaced though, and I have repeated myself many times on this, I just don't buy the fact that the US doesn't want the tech, and most here know what and why I am saying that, I believe they just didn't want to pay dearly for it, or perhaps it may just have had something to do with national security? sort of not being seen to make a big deal of the mach 5/50, but there is already enough info out there in patents etc for anyone remotely interested and with enough funds to at least make some attempt to emulate it, it really isn't rocket science as such (no pun)it's just that no one had placed all the pieces in the correct position before this that had made it something undiscovered until now!

Someone will use it, nothing surer, because it can do things that the US is spending billions on to do similar,perhaps a little better? but with the millstone of cost and weight!
