Congratulations @Optimist

This is the kind of R & D a developed nation like Australia ought to undertake although with 2 heavyweights participating I wonder what exactly would be Australia's role in the whole affair?

I sincerely hope they don't take you simple minded Aussies ( given the massive starry eyed look every Aussie sports when asked to stand shoulder to shoulder with an American & a Pommie) for a ride once more by getting you to contribute money towards the project & as part of project workshare off load fabrication of the body to you guys which is essentially a type of sheet metal fabrication work although the materials employed here are of a different order & nature & much more advanced.
