Eager,
Speculation? Well speculation (and expectation) happens when a number of people come onto this board and on a Thread about NOW, state that an announcement will be made "in the next few days".
So when "the next few days" pass with no announcement, people start asking what happened to the " announcement".
Your offer of a hat is kind. Can I remind you that I volunteered a case of Champagne when ( or should I say, if) they operate their first flight. My offer still stands.
So far, my concern about the viability of this whole project has been borne out by the failure to get it financed and airborne.
I'm afraid in the absence of anything else, speculation is all we have.
