Things can be done a lot quickly if you are given an unlimited budget. Consider how quickly NASA got from nothing to landing on the moon, vs how long it is taking now with their much more limited budget.

Yes, but it was the "next thing" since research started in like the 1980s

It's actually harder to do than landing on the moon.
