Interesting article.

If this is going to work, it will propel the industry like a rocket. It will open up a great many opportunities for autonomous flying robots.

Just showing professionalism to the press and how responsible they are.
And that's a good thing. Don't forget that this was the first officially approved flight with manned crafts in the same air space and location.
