Well it seems to be generating a lot of clever people sticking cash into it. Time will tell but throughout history there have been moments that have changed the future, I think that launch was one of them.
For example, we take air travel for granted now yet until the Wright bros flew a short distance, there were many who thought they were mad. Same with steam trains where people said you would suffocate over 30mph. Those who said the Earth was flat proved wrong and surgeons who were accused of playing god when they started transplanting organs or creating life in a test tube. All those proved they were right.
Yes they had set backs, Google Brunel's atmospheric railway for an example of that but visionary engineers and pioneers in there fields are often dismissed as self promoting charlatans until they get it right.
