I knew a guy who worked on the SSC. I was a teenager, and he was a friend of the family, so it's not like we got into depth or anything. He was of the opinion that cronyism killed the project. People brought their unqualified friends on board and drove up the cost. It was pretty cool to see some bits and bobs from the project, like flat braided wire. I also worked on some relocated houses that were moved off of the track of the SSC. They spent a LOT of money preparing the area.
