Bum deal. Not wasted money, they learned allot about what and how to pursue future tech. The guys in Skunk Works were nerds, in stealth project geeks, and now "romper room group". I am an old guy but the young kids will be shaping our future tech and how far we push it. Not so negative, eh.
Never knew
Facebook was a leader in aviation and wireless

I'll reserve my opinion about Facebook, that in most other commentaries and contexts, I would call Spacebook, but they aren't getting that credit in this forum.
