Of course it was a long shot. All of Task Force Hail Mary was a long shot - hence the name "Hail Mary", a desperation play in football where, when in a crunch, you just throw the ball as hard as you can in the general direction of your teammates and hope for the best. It rarely works, but it's better than getting tackled while holding the ball.
While it would have been nice for some sort of actual response from the companies involved, I'm well aware that we at Titan were not the ones they were told to contact. But even so, I was hoping that we'd at least hear a "no" if they weren't interested. This silence is nerve-wracking.
As far as I'm aware, no new pitches have gone out since the Google pitch last May, and the last we heard of even a pitch-in-progress was in October.
