[SpaceProgram] Underwater laboratory for Space exploration

This is J. Simmons from Mach 30 (http://mach30.org/).  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 (
http://www.ndia.org/Resources/ExportImportComplianceResources/Pages/AnnotatedITAR.aspx).
 And you can see Mach 30's strategy for dealing with ITAR here (
http://mach30.org/2011/10/25/what-about-itar/).  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.
