I would love to invest in such a project...
But ...
ya know...
Before I go and do that...
I have a significant investment tied up in "white papers" currently.
And I will definitely not be throwing more money around until there is closure on the neo900 project , positive or negative.

(And not saying the neo900 project is a flop...but ...the blunt of it is..)
If things "go south" with the neo900 project..
I think I will wait to get back my hefty neo900 investment (minus what fees and applicable work and parts apply, naturally...) if / when it fails to materialize any product...
and refunds start getting issued.
If / when there are "issues" getting the 1/2 down I have put in (almost a grand CDN) , refunded.
Well that will indeed be the last time for me.
In the future I will only buy "from the shelf"...
not on a hope and a prayer.

However,

If my investment concludes positively ...
well I can see then possibly investing in further projects.

But most assuredly.... how current projects unfold and ..conclude...will colour my ...and many investors (I am sure..)... views on investment in the future..as has successful and unsuccessful projects have in the past for many...

It is the reality of such things...
