What are the top barriers to revisiting highly elliptical and AO-40 type goals?

Your donation.>Give early, give often.

What needs to be donated?  Technical expertise?  Parts?  Ground transportation?  Meeting rooms?  Negotiation skill? Political contacts?  Clean room time?  Payload space? Everyone always thinks "money".  (As much) money isn't needed if "what money buys" is available for negotiation, barter, or "in the store house awaiting donation".

What are the top barriers?
