I am glad that we do not have an reality TV here. Without my morning coffee, I can be quite grumpy. It would not be pretty.

The real question though, is even though you're grumpy would the general public find it Entertaining!


I completely agree with your and Dave's comments about needing time to get the data "right." Even though my line of work isn't very public, it's still engineering and science based and when we have a "problem" or key "result" there are many folks who are quick to jump to conclusions. Often the first conclusion or impulse is completely wrong and it takes a good amount of time to tease out what's really going on.

I was a little disturbed to hear they were treating the TEGA oven's as if they only had one more shot, but again, this could be a contingency plan so they make sure they're prioritizing their experiments appropriately, but the way it came off made it sound like there's a major problem.

Of course, I haven't checked any updates in a few days, so they may have some other announcement that details their findings. Even problems or potential show stoppers can take a long time to tease out just the how critical and impacting the problem really is to the objectives.

I'll continue to be patient... I'm still hoping that somehow the unit will survive the winter and surprise us all... Though I know technically this shouldn't be possible.
