A strange point: so you're saying that because they designed it to last longer, that lasting longer is not as much of an accomplishment? Like the optimism of the engineers detracts from the results when that optimism is realized? Regardless, it doesn't take away from my point.

And let the rest of us feel inspired that such a feat is possible.
