Notice the question mark?
The big mistake may have been in cancelling the program. Composite tank problems was the reason given for the cancellation, but aluminum tanks were built as a backstop. In other words, the thing could have flown. Eventually, the composite tank issues were solved, but the project was suppressed "at the highest levels". Political decision in spite of the facts? Why would it be anything else? Considering what has been happening in this country in recent times, a political decision can not be ruled out.
