Who says you can't build such a boat? Also, I think your trying to make a false analogy. We are nothing like Cunard. We are just trying to build a bot. NASA is more like Cunard in your analogy. We are more like Thor. We don't have always have the best tools in the world or the best funding, but we can certainly make do. I never said that AutoCAD had the best 3d. I'm just saying it has fully functioning 3d at a low cost.
