The A-12 I did terminate. It was not an easy decision to make because it's an important requirement that we're trying to fulfill. But no one could tell me how much the program was going to cost
even just through the full scale development phase
or when it would be available. And data that had been presented at one point a few months ago turned out to be invalid and inaccurate.
