Well, I'm not sure I'd use the word "assimilated" - you guys are
sounding like the Borg now. :) Let's just say that we all hope some of
its technology is relevant to other projects, both in whole or in
part, and that both efforts manage to attract enough people to make
this whole issue something of genuine relevance to our daily lives.

I also think that there's genuine merit in pursuing parallel lines of
development, just as all engineering has its pure research and
nuts-and-bolts facets which are not mutually exclusive.
