"I may not have a brain gentlemen, but I have an idea" 😂

The "valid reasons" for slowness are bureaucratic BS and cowardly executives who cater to snide analysts and public-market outlets like WSJ that have nothing to say about a years-late programs and everything to say about a fire that covered 0.0002% of our test site. I am not even exaggerating, that is the real number. It is exactly what anyone would expect from testing a system that violently blasts lithium-powered drones out of the sky. This is what weapons development SHOULD look like. Heck, Camp Pendleton has over 200 fires per year on their training range, and that is with fully mature weapons systems! Going on and on about this for paragraphs is so pathetic - oh no, they "obtained" satellite imagery that "reveals" the damage to the grass on the weapons test range. The other examples in this story are similarly absurd - oh no, an engine sucked in a piece of FOD? STOP THE PRESSES! Autonomous boat behaves exactly as designed and stops moving when it receives a faulty command? ANDURIL HIT BY PATTERN OF SETBACKS! It is so pathetic, the type of thing that can only be written and taken seriously by people who have no idea how hardware development actually works.
