I still wish CargoLifter had been led competently. They were overambitious and promised too much, but the concept was sooo convincing.

Started too early I guess. Ten years later and the blade transport use case would have come in at just the right time to salvage the investment. Back when Cargolifter shut down, rotor sizes were still in a range where ground transport isn't all that challenging.
