[X] It's... huh, it's actually not that big a deal? It's very EXCITING at first pass but once Cornucopia and MARS hits the space gold rush will fizzle. The military implications are a thing... but maybe this could be the Stonewall Group's ticket to getting their fingers into the military-industrial complex?
-[X] Still, invite Cam over for tea. This space focus of hers feels a little... surplus to requirements. It's probably a good idea to get a better understanding of her long term goals.

[X] It's... huh, it's actually not that big a deal? It's very EXITING at first pass but once Cornucopia and MARS hits the space gold rush will fizzle into a dick measuring contest for bored upper middle class jocks? But... bump up Manufacturability of MARS to 2. Just to twist the knife a little.

[X] If Cornucopia isn't already next on the list, put it there.

[X] The fact that Nguyet Cam is publically announcing the existence of a stealth interstellar drive that can allow for relativistic kinetic kill strikes is concerning. We need to talk to her about why she's pushing something so extreme into the public consciousness.

[X] Nicely ask Cam when the IAEA can do it's mandatory inspection of the entire nuclear fuel cycle, manufacturing plants and sensitive research facilities, to ensure that nothing untowards is going on. An upstanding member of the international community has no reason to refuse. Lily can volunteer as subject matter expert.
-[x] Given these safeguards, Vietnam's engines are clear dual use technology which can not simply be sold or released to the world.
-[x] The atoms for peace program ought to be expanded to deliver access to safer, less militarized engines with far lower peak thrust to any non-nuclear state, keeping them just as useful and less weaponizable. That these can and will be build by US industry is a mere coincidence.
