Data classification ( basically what ITAR is ) has no real relevance to anything. It's pure bureaucratic overhead. There has been repeated calls for reform in this arena.<br><br>much like reforming tax law... there's no incentive for anyone to actually do their job on this one. so it stays horribly broken.<br>

The gubmnt PGP fiasco (waste of our tax dollars) doesn't appear to
be similar to talking about or researching mundane space and sea
livability problems. (I only use the term mundane in the sense that
survival is a minute-by-minute issue in those environments,
therefore very common.)<br>

Probably the most famous ITAR case in tech.<br>

To answer the question about fines and jail time for ITAR
violations, check out this part of the Wikipedia article to
get an idea of how far the US government will go to enforce
it.

For more info, check out the Annotated ITAR (<a href="http://www.ndia.org/Resources/ExportImportComplianceResources/Pages/AnnotatedITAR.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.ndia.org/Resources/ExportImportComplianceResources/Pages/AnnotatedITAR.aspx</a>).
And you can see Mach 30's strategy for dealing with ITAR
here (<a href="http://mach30.org/2011/10/25/what-about-itar/" target="_blank">http://mach30.org/2011/10/25/what-about-itar/</a>).
As a side note, the idea of developing technology for an
alternate use case like underwater habitats is very much in
line with some of our thinking.</div>

<div>Underwater systems are also not so
readily covered under ITAR - that is USA
residents can talk about the technical
details on public forums, conferences, etc.
Discussions of tech for space itself (eg
rockets, guidance, launch etc) will quickly
attract attention of US Dept of State and
can result in big fines and jail time.
