Ok. you gotta break a lot of eggs to make an Omelette. Lets's count em. Welcome any contributions to the list...

1. Satella Breakdowns

2. SNUP with it's seemingly endless Quals, delays, having to bring a SNUP guy from SK

3. SNUP Breakdowns

4. Failed effort at Camera Viewfinders

5. Wire Bond

6. Consumer Digital Night Vision: Apparent Failure (Not in my book)

6. Sequestration

7. COVID

What else we got? The point is you just don't arrive at something like Direct Patterned Displays & Digital Night Vision by Edict or Abracadabra. It's a lot of failure, it's a lot hard work and it's a pain in the ass.
