From what I can tell, all the current staff were hired just for this venture, which has been in the works for over a year. I know of a GA Tech student who interned there last year developing the motor seen in that video. I’m sure the machine shop there at Estes is underutilized, even with the new engine machines going online.

They did not get permission. In fact I used that ad with the slogan in my NARCON 2021 presentation.

No. Enerjet was in the public domain and was not part of the Estes asset list. RCS filed for registration of the trademark before the Langfords purchased Estes.

Even though I was just joking, that doesn't contradict what I said. They could have intentionally used the slogan in response to Aerotech using the Enerjet name.

Agreed. But it’s like my neighbor lamenting to me that they should have bought our lot to preserve their view when in fact we owned it before they bought their house (true story).
