I wouldn’t light anything up until I’d made sure the thing wasn’t going to fall out of the sky due to a major design modification.
That said, they’re continuing the spin and fooling a lot less than they used to.
Do XCOR have anything actually flying yet?

The only people you are fooling VG are yourselves, to the public at large you are really starting to appear as a bunch of nervous virgins. Either light the thing up or stop pretending that you can get the job done.
