I fail to see your point. If a company provides a warrenty on one of thier products, they are well within thier rights to provide "groundrules" for the use and application of thier product.
Lets say I amble over to the local Toyota deal and buy myself a shiny new Tacoma pickup. I want to supercharge it. Toyota states that the only supercharger which may be used without voiding the warrenty is the TRD approved unit. I put on an ACME one I got off eBay. Should Toyota honor thier warrenty when the engine goes !!BOOM!!.
An explosion does not need oxygene. An explosion is the violent reaction of one or more compounds to a stimuli, be it another compound, the presence of water or perhaps a shock.
The MOAB is not a Fuel-Air explosive, but is more akin to an overgrown fertilizer/diesel fuel bomb (referred to as I recall a slurry) such as utilized by Tim McVay.
Most explosives work fine in space (think about it, they work underwater, now don't they).
Are we inviting the French along. Cause with thier recent performance, they are bound to get homesick and want to quit within the first 15 minutes of the trip.

On April 1, 1971, real estate agents Bob McDonald and Jim Youngren put the words, "Will the last person leaving SEATTLE - Turn out the lights" on a billboard at S. 167th St. and Pacific Highway S. near Sea-Tac airport. The two realtors, who work for Henry Broderick, Inc., put up the billboard as a humorous response to pessimism generated by the national aerospace industry's nosedive, known locally as the Boeing Bust.
The recession was caused as The Boeing Company, the region's largest employer, went from a peak of 100,800 employees in 1967 to a low of 38,690 in April 1971. McDonald said their out-of-town clients, "were amazed that Seattle wasn't a ghost town with weeds growing in the streets. We wanted to counteract that attitude with a little humor" (Duncan). They chose a billboard site that they inevitably passed after picking up their clients at the airport. The men rented the billboard for $160.
The Boeing recovery began slowly: by October 1971 the firm employed 53,300 workers.
Actually its owned by the Japanese goverment. As I recall, the prime contractor was Mitsubishi. That was a long time ago (10+ years) though, so I might be wrong. Big ass piece of glass though. 30+ tons, shipping box weighed another 30 tons.
Well if your going through all the trouble of retrofitting your antique timepiece with a nifty little oversight device, replacing/modding the pendulum is probably doable.....
Don't know. But then again, who would have thunk a couple of rabid zealots with box cutters would commendeer commercial aircraft and turn them into guided missles.
I think GW said it aptly (or was it Colin) that we did want to find out that Saddam had WMD when he actually used them. Or words to that effect.
And I'm sure for the correct amount of dinero, somebody would part with a missle or two.

Yes, but one factor you've left out is that in most cases, the goverment also funds the development and research. Most companies aren't going to risk the capital to develope something the goverment "might" buy. Sure, they might throw some bones at certain projects and programs which have great potential, but in reality, no dough - no show.
