"Christ, where does a guy start? Noting his unwillingness to listen to advice? His mismanagement of funds? His shooting off onto irrelevant, unproductive tangents while on a tight budget and schedule? His ability to distill a highly complex 6DOF situation down to a single back of the envelope 1D calculation basedon a single component, then looked surprised when it EXPLODES? His display of a lack of understanding of kinematics? His repeated reliance on "I've got to believe..." in lieu of "The numbers show..."? His lack of basic safety precautions when dealing with substances like blocks of lithium ("just cut it on the band saw"), silane and diborane? His un-nderstanding of the energetics of pressure vessels?

It's hard to know where to start."

Someone needs to tell Mark the Martian that pointing to what he considers "authoritative" web-sites or documents is no substitute for fact.

BTW, I like Bob both as a person and visionary, but...
