Why is the Urbit project completely unable to produce anything approachable, set any practical goals, or explain anything in terms of existing approaches?

It seems like an extreme level of hubris to think that Urbit is so far beyond the current level of technology that everything must be started from scratch. I've bounced off Urbit because of the tech and documentation a number of times now, and I would like to think I'm capable of understanding and appreciating the need for this sort of thing.

Have you dug into the docs or watched any of the Hoon videos, or launched a comet?
I think you need NASA clearance to launch any comets. Possibly the FAA too if you launch from ground.
