It worked well until there was a component failure, requiring a whole farm to be taken down to replace said failed components. This is why they dropped the project.

    They didn't think of that when designing this?

    you don't need to jump off a building to research gravity...

    How are you going to evaluate long term effects without practical experiments? They clearly have the money and its much easier and efficient to launch a real MVP than to design a complex set of simulations and tests.
