Right now, it still feels like the "brainstorming" phase of the project. I guess it's OK to criticize various ideas, but it would be more interesting if alternatives were offered, then have a discussion of pros and cons. That is, assuming the goal is to make it happen, vs. prove it's infeasible.
Since it's such a blue-sky project, I'm hoping more to enjoy the design process -- the discussion of science and ideas. I wonder if that process will bring engineers together... or drive them apart?

The engine in testing already and they seem to have nailed down the basic specs and all the important parts. That's more then brainstorming, thats actually prototype testing of specific sub-components.
