#1 No. Moonbeam was not there. He might have big dreams but he has not the foggiest frickin' clue how to actually complete a project like this and he can't be bothered to ask the Swiss how they did it. Moonbeam's project is more of a gravy train for cronies.

#7 I went through the Mont Blanc tunnel 30+years ago. I'm not sure if that was boring or scary......it did seem looooong.
