You know, 10 years ago might as well be 100 years ago.
We have many new materials now that didn't exist even five years ago.
Ultra high density synthesised cross linked polyethylene, graphene and carbyne.
Pneumatic science has had several recent breakthroughs , especially in stabilisation technology, like that used on massive wind turbines.
So no, this couldn't have been done a decade ago.
