Jupiter was just a PDP-10, I don't think killing Jupiter was bad. The VAX was insanely successful and adopted by a large amount of people. And Jupiter was a very expensive project and it basically failed to do what it wanted to do and was already late. They stopped with PDP-10 because nobody seemed to be able to make a next generation architecture work.
Arguably, all ECL projects should have been killed, even Venus.
