Your thesis seems to be

1) If billions are spent on something and it didn’t already happen, that means it won’t likely happen soon, and

2) If people predict something will happen, and it doesn’t, that means no prediction of that thing can ever be credible.

But those don’t seem like logically sound inferences to me.

You're acting like it's your money they've spent or tax payer money that's been spent? Why does it matter how much has been spent? Is this like some kind of weird entitlement where you get to be upset because companies made aspirational promises (to their shareholders mind you, not to you)
