Morrow Project as a workable concept

[raketenjagdpanzer]

I thought the main plot of The Morrow Project was that the timers on the cryo chambers malfunctioned, and awakened the teams too far in the future; furthermore, that the main base was hit by saboteurs, and the network capability of each "bolthole" was wrecked. So teams in Atlanta wouldn't be able to communicate with teams in Jacksonville (FL or TN), and so on.

The point about TMP "working" is that all of that stuff isn't supposed to work: it's gone. It's no longer (initially, anyway) about re-setting and restoring a devastated United States, but survival, like in T2k. Down the road once Alpha Base is recovered, yes. But the future the teams find themselves in, in 218x, is supposed to be untenable. No, 4-8 people can't reset the US. But the plan in the late 20th century was never about just 4-8 people, it was large numbers of 4-8 person teams, centrally guided, with all of the advantages that would give.
