"We are certainly capable, as a country, of doing more than one thing at a time." We have been trying. For instance, fusion's been just over the horizon for 40 years... technological achievements do not necessarily follow from energy or money expended. The classic case is the extensive research focused on fusion reactors. After 50 years of work, no commercial fusion reactors exist. Scientists working on the latest international fusion project speak in terms of another 50 years before a commercial reactor is operational. But when the work on fusion reactors began, scientists were confident that all the technological hurdles could be overcome within a couple of decades and that fusion plants would be up and running by the year 2000.
