For power production as a turn key build?
Get some land ready. Bring in the workers and build that new plant. Weld the reactor vessel. Get all the electronics and computers in.
Start selling power to pay back all that debt. But coal, oil, solar, wind, gas, hydro exists and wants that same access to profit too.
Years later that nuclear power plant is radioactive, cracking and falling apart.
Time for cutting it all up and securing all the radioactive parts or give it paper work pass so the locals can keep on working for another 25 years?
That cost is passed on to someone to pay for.
Nations usually cheat on the cost by having a nuclear weapons build going on for a few decades that hides some of the costs.
Or went nuclear and now have to pay for the clean up costs after that civilian jobs creation program a few decades ago.
Consumers or tax payers are paying for that build and clean up.
Nuclear weapons or a few local jobs does not make it any cheaper to build, run and then clean up.
AC that part is left open to the type of exfiltration needed.
Some times the code will be added on a usb device by hand and the data collected in the same way.
Other times down a network and the data collected in the same way.
It just depends on the nation, the ability to get site access and tell a good story about needing computer access.
The security hole is left to what is needed. The collection method works as expected.
An extra 3 years of free university education or been in the mil and a few wars will correct everything.
People will always return to their old communities with good credit, be ready for work and be working.
They will have real credit to buy cars and take out huge home loans.
New homes or renovated homes will all need to be filled with products and services. Thats new jobs too.
Fast networks will be built as the new professionals can afford good internet.
A new generation of lawyers, doctors, engineers, nurses and electricians living together in areas that have undergone full gentrification.
The next generation will have fast internet and really good local school given all the new wealth. Just like all the other normal communities all over the USA that always did so well in testing every decade.
Just the lack of fast internet and good schools spending per generation was all that was holding back some cities.
3 years of free university, fast internet and good schools will fix everything in a generation. Some good nutrition too? Some spending on attracting jobs to the state? Rail links? Road repair? Clean water? How about some power company credits so the lights stay on for homework? Free medical too? Dental? Parks and new bicycle paths?
Just free university, a few extra things to make study more fun and the state will get it all back in taxes soon.
AC thats not an issue. University students will still graduate to design the exports and the robots that make the exports or become engineers, doctors or nurses.
Age care will be a nurse, a doctor on call and many new robots. Or care at home with robot and a nurse or doctor visiting as needed.
Beds will be made by robots, food delivered by robots, friendly robots will sit with old people and alert to any changes.
A lot of kitchen workers, cleaners, laundry workers in shifts will just not be needed.
Negative population growth is not bad for any normal society that can look after its own and can fund that expert care.
A new level of population will level out and the factories, power plants, farms and hospitals will keep on working.
Local people will find jobs, go to university or take up a trade just as past generations did.
The best graduates will keep on working every generation, roads will be safe, power will flow. New products and services will be designed and exported to the world.
If a factory in japan needs a lot of workers for some reason, they can send a few experts from Japan to Asia and build a factory in any part of Asia with the lowest wages and best tax rate. Raw materials will be imported as with past generations.
The profits return to Japan and people in Japan are looked after. No big changes needed. Just good planning and a lot of experts.
The issues the US or EU has with an influx of random people who cannot work will not happen and Japan will be totally fine.

Feed the diploma mills offering loans for the students with academic skills. Take the loan for the freedom to select a course or the gov gets to decide on a job.
A back door draft as a last resort to get the papers you qualified for released by the gov.
That accredited trade apprenticeship or a gap year program won't be free so someone is making some money looking after the "students".
Take a loan or accept a free gov grant?
Go to war. Stop loss keeps that person stuck in that war for many years. Very few legal ways back home from endless wars.
Or get a loan or have the wealth to pay for an approved apprenticeship?
If the government pays for your apprenticeship does the government get your skills for a few years of work in their city? Some fine print about years of service back to the gov or city to help the USA for that "free" apprenticeship?
Or find something the government accepts as been a gap year program?
Just for a government to release school paperwork that been studied for in full?
In debt for life or sent to some distant endless war or the risks of domestic duty?
Be the first to try that government approved "program"?
Have to sign up for the next year too or your papers are revoked.
Been driven out to do hairdressing or digging ditches in some random "community" and been collected again late at night?
A nice new gov loan for the shovel or a set of scissors. Wanted to learn to work with computers? Too late, should have joined the mil or taken a loan for that kind of academic request.
The gov says poor people need care or the drains need cleaning. Thats freedom in a gov approved "program".
Cant look after the gov issued shovel or scissors? A more sheltered workshop environment can be arranged for people who don't want to look after government property.
Drop out or escape? Remember who did the cosigning. That family or kin gets that loan passed to them in full with extra payments due to the cost of trying to find the person.
Sounds like some history text book about governments people have to escape from.
Re "PLUS in most cases the regular joe sees the corps as the good guys in these situation as the EU is being seen as changing the rules whenever they need to bail out a pork-barrel company that is failing."
What can the EU do long term?
Only allow other US OS, phone OS systems, US chip sets in the EU? Products and brands that people have to use at work but don't like?
People in the EU are going to dream of that banned devices and banned OS that the EU blocked and won't allow to connect to any network.
The younger people will want the fashion brand they see on social media. The old people will tell stories of the freedom they once had in their own country to go and buy that US brand and US OS/services.
What life was like before the EU built a digital wall and totally banned some US brands.
Retroactive EU taxes and new laws to ban US products won't keep voters in the EU happy.
People in Alaska go back to tourism, fishing, helping scientists, selling products and services at the gates of US mil bases and other ways of life.
Should the rest of the USA be expected to support people in Alaska with a UBI to make up for that Fund?
Consider your list of nations. Smaller groups of well educated citizens in closed wealthy nations with a set rules for gov help after 1945 or around the 1920's or 1980's.
Citizens got looked after to prevent communist parties from winning elections sometime in the 20th century or other political parties from offering more help to a set of voters.
The nations has success in the past as they only looked after their own citizens. Good health care, good education for each generation of their own citizens.
So some got some health care, dental care, old age pensions and educational support.
Good education produced productive hard working citizens that then paid into the tax system for health care or a later old age pension.
Support for not working was limited and most people could expect to find work again given a good economy and exports. Good jobs existed or people found work and wanted to work. They could afford homes, holidays , savings or just stay out of poverty. Happy, productive citizens who paid taxes been looked after by their gov.
People worked hard in the private sector and paid real taxes most of their working life. Pension systems only ever expected a set amount of their own nations older workers to ever need and be granted a full pension. Private or a company pension plans also got promoted and supported. Private health care was also an option.
A given rate of citizens growing up, working hard and getting the old age pension could be predicted and supported. The maths worked if the number of real citizens paying into the system could be understood an old age pension was only for an old age.
Citizenship was the legal test for all the free good things from the government and many support services also needed to proof of been poor or not been able to work.
The USA totally lost control of its citizenship tests. Millions of illegal migrants are wondering around cities and states using local and federal services only intended for the very poor citizens of USA.
To be like the list of the above nations the USA would to secure its paperwork for the first time in every city and state.
Only eligible US citizens would get support after showing real US photo ID or having someone help them with getting their US ID ready.
That would at least get support back to the US working poor or poor and help with spending issues in every state and city.
Would a UBI work in the USA? Only if it was means tested and for citizens looking for work, been educated full time or unable to work.
A very limited safety net for US citizens only that gets fully repaid by workers paying taxes.
What to do about very wealthy areas in the USA that need low skilled workers to clean and look after services everyday?
The working poor cant afford rent in the wealthy areas and have to get to low wage jobs in the most wealthy areas of the USA?
Why is a UBI been requested? For the poor? Or to cover a local wage gap so wealthy people don't have to pay poor workers extra?
Should all US tax payers have to support the working poor in CA so that can they work for the wealthy to enjoy support services in a few very wealthy areas?
If the wealthy in the USA want workers in expensive areas, pay real private sector wages in that state.
Technician or scientist wages for all support services?
Requesting the rest of the USA pays a UBI to cover for low wages in one state is not going to work with the US tax rates.
The EU was all happy to sign up to trade deals with the US and the rest of the world.
Exporting cars, services, machinery, robots, food to the world from within the EU.
A free flow of new cars into the USA. EU products and services in the USA.
People in the EU had the freedom to use advanced, creative and innovative US social media and computer services.
The US brands sold products and services in the EU that worked as sold.
Now the EU is having cash flow issues due to its own domestic policies and wants the USA to pay more?
More costs? New compliance costs? Complex legal issues?
US brands now have to factor in a digital compliance wall that is going up around the EU.
Is the EU worth the risk of investing in or been part of given unexpected, expensive and retroactive legal changes?
Use the freedom of hosting and been in the USA to offer EU users innovative US products and services.
If all the EU can innovate is new costs to investors, thats not a great place for your tech investments.
Freedom of speech, freedom after speech and any easy to follow laws in the USA is starting to make the USA look like a smarter place to grow a tech business.
Just offering of few ideas on how computer education has been offered, what testing can do to find the best students and the decades of costs of computer access for every student.
Budgets are getting to be an issue in many cities and states.
Just social advance a generation of students again?
Only provide computer classes to the few students who can or want to do math and science?
AC the UK worked very hard to give more access to computing at school and in the home to average students.
In the US a computer lab might have been offered with some hardware and OS that was different to other less well equipped computer labs.
Or the school kept on using math textbooks and a fully supported brand of calculator. With computing been a class that was offered to some.
The result to consider is the number of experts produced from that decade of total computer access or less computer access. Or better math education and support to get into really good university based on merit.
Did the UK get to design operating systems, games, export super computers to the world with translations of the OS and support material?
Did only a few very gifted people and a few brands really become the experts expected? Lots of funding for a brand but very few new jobs.
Or did people like Microsoft, Intel and its games, productivity and education software?
All that computer access around the UK to smart and very average students should have resulted in a very different educational results from nations that just offered math, some random computer class or calulators and science?
How much money can any nation afford to keep spending on average students until some better results are tracked over decades?
The US tried social advancement to try and help the very average students.
The UK offered computers and computer networks to try and help all the average students.
Within the USA different numbers of students get to a good university based on merit.
Was it the UK idea of computers for all worth it? More testing and support of the very best students in the USA seem to work better?
To produce the designers that create new systems and new jobs, not just have a generation who know of a GUI and can access a game on a console.
Computers for everyone, more computer classes, computers in every class, educational robot kits?
Thats a lot of money to find and hope very average people can do the math needed to work with computers.
Re So to unlock your phone in the middle of the night, you need to shine a bright light in your face and get your picture taken?
Dont worry the user will have upgraded and live in a totally network home.
With the new version, just lifting the hardware up will quickly turn the lights on in the same room so the unlock will be a normal daylight experience.
A small number of reports of all lights in a house been activated every call are been looked into.
Is it still worth the risk and costs? How to get your products over the new German digital wall.
You users expect the same US freedom of speech and freedom after speech they get from a trusted US brand.
Users know what they are signing up for and what they are doing with a US product and service they enjoy and want to use.
Germans reach out to a US brand and want to enjoy and use that brands features and services.
What is the solution given a new digital wall now surrounds Germany?
Create German support services in the USA? A lot of great people graduate from US universities with German skills? Hire them in the USA.
Get Germans to connect to the USA. If a German company wants to buy and sell, let them do it in the USA.
Avoid Germany but understand the needs of Germans in Germany looking for German products and services that can be supported via the USA.
For the Germans reading slashdot trying to understand what that US web service offering Germany service would have to look like on online, think back to reverse digital version of the Geschenkdienst und Kleinexporte.
The USA did not interact with Germany, Germany did not legally interact with the USA but the US product or service arrives in Germany via a payment to a trusted third nation.
Take the train or dive to a nation like Switzerland to build up funds in a US service?
A US server and brand, selling into the EU, products been sent into Germany via a third company in the EU or a by using a company totally outside
EU, Germany or USA. Totally avoiding any direct legal contact with the German government from the USA or a US company having to function in Germany.
Germans would have to absorb the repackaging and extra costs in the postage but could enjoy the freedom of speech, after speech, freedom to shop, review products only offered in the USA.
The US social media site hosted only in the USA becomes an interactive version of Geschenke in die DDR with the same complex postage and payment systems.
The more the German government bans US products and services the more people in Germany will talk about and then enjoy US freedoms.
US brands will respond with innovative ways to get their products and services into Germany and help Germans set up accounts.
Any VPN and site encryption will have to withstand the skills and spending of the German government trying to detect and report any Germans using that service. Hire the smartest staff in the USA to keep Germans safe in Germany as they use US networks and services.
A new digital wall will not keep Germans away from US freedoms. Very smart people in the US will always find ways to sell into Germany again.
Germans had to use tunnels, microlight aircraft, cars and hot air balloons to try and escape bad parts of Germany.
US brands now have to be as creative to help their German customers trapped in Germany enjoy digital freedom again.
1. Teach math. Test for math skills.
2. Teach science. Test for science skills.
3. Have computers in the school that work and can be used to do programming with.
4. Have a computer at home so the students can keep learning.
5. Use the test results to really support the students who can study to program computers.
6. Offer computer classes of more interest to the other students at their own pace. Arts, music, sport education, photography, easy to understand business maths. Working with apps and the internet classes.
Support the very gifted and smart students with more math and computer programming. Teach the other students skills they can use at university and in some later vocational training.
If only some nation had done that with all their skilled, bright, average and other students over a decade? The results could be copied all over the USA?
Give every student a computer class at school, access to a working computer and a computer at home. Lessons that work on both computers and the entire nation will be computer ready in a generation? With the next generation following with upgraded hardware and software. Then all new teachers will be totally computer literate decades later.
Sounds like nation building and a low cost pathway to becoming a computer super power. Given that the best students will then set up local computer factories, employ locals and produce computer parts, code software, export hardware and code new national OS every year?
Super computer factories all over the nation in a generation exporting to the world with full employment?
The UK tried that with the BBC micro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Schools full of new computers. Network computers. Educational computer software was used. Maths and science for all schools.
The result a generation later? A bit like the results of all that new science spending in the 1950s in the USA.
The UK started importing Microsoft OS, Microsoft OS ready games, MS applications and other nations fun console hardware. A few game companies with some staff got rich.
The next generation would be ready to write code for UK computers and start a UK computer industry that would export to the world?
More Microsoft games, consoles and surfing the internet to US sites. Later US apps on a US OS using hardware from production lines outside the UK.
But everyone in the UK got to see and use a computer over the decades? The generations of skills workers should have been ready to design their own apps and sell to the world years later?
Placing lots of new computer in average schools does not create a nation of super computer experts.
People still want to become lawyers, veterinarians, doctors, pilots, plumbers, to do something with arts or sports, design or build or just take care of things in a home if they are allowed to select their own education.
They use a computer to do things but the OS, apps, software might be written by a select few experts.
The hardware and networks are even more complex and need even better experts.
Who created that skill level? Nations who teach math and science and who still test and grade on merit. Put funding back into university level educations after years of testing. Talk to employers. Do they want people who can use a computer?
How many staff really need to know who to program a computer, create an OS given a very bespoke imported closed source application controls the hardware and software and always has to due to legal or really complex hardware issues?
Rick a just in time production line or harvest or expensive raw materials? That kind of work needs expert design, not an entire workforce that could program an educational computer a decade ago.

The CIA has started new cults in China that weaken the best minds. A spreading internal brain drain that embraces meditation, exercises and morality.
The engineering cadres are very susceptible to what the CIA's best anthropologists, psychologists and psychiatrist have created to totally distract from the formality of science and the secrecy of the mil.
A type of faith based tune in, drop out US funded counterculture is been spread within the ranks of the best academics.
Finding a morality that the communist party never had is very new, tempting and attractive to very smart people.
Once practicing all the engineers want to do is relax, meditate, talk in groups and study theological questions.
Faith becomes a drug.
Work then becomes a distraction or chore that has to be done. The uniform becomes restrictive in many different ways. Orders become suggestions to be discussed or questioned openly.
The party and rocket work is something that is very external to the new found faith.
The day job and its good food, good housing, good education, better health care, holidays, party membership holds no value as the most skilled people slip into their own hidden world of faith.
The CIA gets smart people interesting in faith.
The NSA tracks their smart phones at meetings and then all the way back to work.
It really depends on the nation, its mil and what it could design or what tech it could buy in from another nation.
So the dual use science for rockets in many nations tracked their sat and mil thinking.
What a rocket that can be launched quickly with the payload been kept safe? i.e. first strike?
Any low cost rocket that can be launched with a good payload? Just enough for a low cost nuclear deterrent?
A rocket that is ready or that needed some time to get ready. The leadership has to be aware of a rockets limitations.
Got a lot of money to spend, a big secret test range and the best engineers? If so a lot of different things can be attempted or designs changed over the decades.
If not your suck with a few really expensive designs or have to import a working rocket from another nation due to a lack of skills. Metallurgy is difficult and only a few really smart nations kept that skill fully funded every decade.
Different nations also have different production lines so their own staff have to be able to keep up with new tech.
Importing tech is really bad as more skills are lost. Having any tech that works most of the time brings in commercial interest.

More costs? New compliance costs? Complex legal issues?
US brands now have to factor in a digital compliance wall that is going up around the EU.
Is the EU worth the risk of investing in or been part of given unexpected, expensive and retroactive legal changes?
Use the freedom of hosting and been in the USA to offer EU users innovative US products and services.
If all the EU can innovate is new costs to investors, thats not a great place for your tech investments.
Freedom of speech, freedom after speech and any easy to follow laws in the USA is starting to make the USA look like a smarter place to grow a tech business.
Just offering of few ideas on how computer education has been offered, what testing can do to find the best students and the decades of costs of computer access for every student.
Budgets are getting to be an issue in many cities and states.
Just social advance a generation of students again?
Only provide computer classes to the few students who can or want to do math and science?
AC the UK worked very hard to give more access to computing at school and in the home to average students.
In the US a computer lab might have been offered with some hardware and OS that was different to other less well equipped computer labs.
Or the school kept on using math textbooks and a fully supported brand of calculator. With computing been a class that was offered to some.
The result to consider is the number of experts produced from that decade of total computer access or less computer access. Or better math education and support to get into really good university based on merit.
Did the UK get to design operating systems, games, export super computers to the world with translations of the OS and support material?
Did only a few very gifted people and a few brands really become the experts expected? Lots of funding for a brand but very few new jobs.
Or did people like Microsoft, Intel and its games, productivity and education software?
All that computer access around the UK to smart and very average students should have resulted in a very different educational results from nations that just offered math, some random computer class or calulators and science?
How much money can any nation afford to keep spending on average students until some better results are tracked over decades?
The US tried social advancement to try and help the very average students.
The UK offered computers and computer networks to try and help all the average students.
Within the USA different numbers of students get to a good university based on merit.
Was it the UK idea of computers for all worth it? More testing and support of the very best students in the USA seem to work better?
To produce the designers that create new systems and new jobs, not just have a generation who know of a GUI and can access a game on a console.
Computers for everyone, more computer classes, computers in every class, educational robot kits?
Thats a lot of money to find and hope very average people can do the math needed to work with computers.
Re So to unlock your phone in the middle of the night, you need to shine a bright light in your face and get your picture taken?
Dont worry the user will have upgraded and live in a totally network home.
With the new version, just lifting the hardware up will quickly turn the lights on in the same room so the unlock will be a normal daylight experience.
A small number of reports of all lights in a house been activated every call are been looked into.
Is it still worth the risk and costs? How to get your products over the new German digital wall.
You users expect the same US freedom of speech and freedom after speech they get from a trusted US brand.
Users know what they are signing up for and what they are doing with a US product and service they enjoy and want to use.
Germans reach out to a US brand and want to enjoy and use that brands features and services.
What is the solution given a new digital wall now surrounds Germany?
Create German support services in the USA? A lot of great people graduate from US universities with German skills? Hire them in the USA.
Get Germans to connect to the USA. If a German company wants to buy and sell, let them do it in the USA.
Avoid Germany but understand the needs of Germans in Germany looking for German products and services that can be supported via the USA.
For the Germans reading slashdot trying to understand what that US web service offering Germany service would have to look like on online, think back to reverse digital version of the Geschenkdienst und Kleinexporte.
The USA did not interact with Germany, Germany did not legally interact with the USA but the US product or service arrives in Germany via a payment to a trusted third nation.
Take the train or dive to a nation like Switzerland to build up funds in a US service?
A US server and brand, selling into the EU, products been sent into Germany via a third company in the EU or a by using a company totally outside EU, Germany or USA.
Totally avoiding any direct legal contact with the German government from the USA or a US company having to function in Germany.
Germans would have to absorb the repackaging and extra costs in the postage but could enjoy the freedom of speech, after speech, freedom to shop, review products only offered in the USA.
The US social media site hosted only in the USA becomes an interactive version of Geschenke in die DDR with the same complex postage and payment systems.
The more the German government bans US products and services the more people in Germany will talk about and then enjoy US freedoms.
US brands will respond with innovative ways to get their products and services into Germany and help Germans set up accounts.
Any VPN and site encryption will have to withstand the skills and spending of the German government trying to detect and report any Germans using that service. Hire the smartest staff in the USA to keep Germans safe in Germany as they use US networks and services.
A new digital wall will not keep Germans away from US freedoms. Very smart people in the US will always find ways to sell into Germany again.
Germans had to use tunnels, microlight aircraft, cars and hot air balloons to try and escape bad parts of Germany.
US brands now have to be as creative to help their German customers trapped in Germany enjoy digital freedom again.
1. Teach math. Test for math skills.
2. Teach science. Test for science skills.
3. Have computers in the school that work and can be used to do programming with.
4. Have a computer at home so the students can keep learning.
5. Use the test results to really support the students who can study to program computers.
6. Offer computer classes of more interest to the other students at their own pace. Arts, music, sport education, photography, easy to understand business maths. Working with apps and the internet classes.
Support the very gifted and smart students with more math and computer programming. Teach the other students skills they can use at university and in some later vocational training.
If only some nation had done that with all their skilled, bright, average and other students over a decade? The results could be copied all over the USA?
Give every student a computer class at school, access to a working computer and a computer at home.
Lessons that work on both computers and the entire nation will be computer ready in a generation?
With the next generation following with upgraded hardware and software. Then all new teachers will be totally computer literate decades later.
Sounds like nation building and a low cost pathway to becoming a computer super power. Given that the best students will then set up local computer factories, employ locals and produce computer parts, code software, export hardware and code new national OS every year?
Super computer factories all over the nation in a generation exporting to the world with full employment?
The UK tried that with the BBC micro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Schools full of new computers. Network computers. Educational computer software was used. Maths and science for all schools.
The result a generation later? A bit like the results of all that new science spending in the 1950s in the USA.
The UK started importing Microsoft OS, Microsoft OS ready games, MS applications and other nations fun console hardware. A few game companies with some staff got rich.
The next generation would be ready to write code for UK computers and start a UK computer industry that would export to the world?
More Microsoft games, consoles and surfing the internet to US sites. Later US apps on a US OS using hardware from production lines outside the UK.
But everyone in the UK got to see and use a computer over the decades? The generations of skills workers should have been ready to design their own apps and sell to the world years later?
Placing lots of new computer in average schools does not create a nation of super computer experts.
People still want to become lawyers, veterinarians, doctors, pilots, plumbers, to do something with arts or sports, design or build or just take care of things in a home if they are allowed to select their own education.
They use a computer to do things but the OS, apps, software might be written by a select few experts.
The hardware and networks are even more complex and need even better experts.
Who created that skill level? Nations who teach math and science and who still test and grade on merit. Put funding back into university level educations after years of testing. Talk to employers. Do they want people who can use a computer?
How many staff really need to know who to program a computer, create an OS given a very bespoke imported closed source application controls the hardware and software and always has to due to legal or really complex hardware issues?
Rick a just in time production line or harvest or expensive raw materials? That kind of work needs expert design, not an entire workforce that could program an educational computer a decade ago.
Anyone like to list some OS that are can help avoid all this?

The CIA has started new cults in China that weaken the best minds. A spreading internal brain drain that embraces meditation, exercises and morality.
The engineering cadres are very susceptible to what the CIA's best anthropologists, psychologists and psychiatrist have created to totally distract from the formality of science and the secrecy of the mil.
A type of faith based tune in, drop out US funded counterculture is been spread within the ranks of the best academics.
Finding a morality that the communist party never had is very new, tempting and attractive to very smart people.
Once practicing all the engineers want to do is relax, meditate, talk in groups and study theological questions.
Faith becomes a drug.
Work then becomes a distraction or chore that has to be done. The uniform becomes restrictive in many different ways. Orders become suggestions to be discussed or questioned openly.
The party and rocket work is something that is very external to the new found faith.
The day job and its good food, good housing, good education, better health care, holidays, party membership holds no value as the most skilled people slip into their own hidden world of faith.
The CIA gets smart people interesting in faith.
The NSA tracks their smart phones at meetings and then all the way back to work.
It really depends on the nation, its mil and what it could design or what tech it could buy in from another nation.
So the dual use science for rockets in many nations tracked their sat and mil thinking.
What a rocket that can be launched quickly with the payload been kept safe? i.e. first strike?
Any low cost rocket that can be launched with a good payload? Just enough for a low cost nuclear deterrent?
A rocket that is ready or that needed some time to get ready. The leadership has to be aware of a rockets limitations.
Got a lot of money to spend, a big secret test range and the best engineers? If so a lot of different things can be attempted or designs changed over the decades.
If not your suck with a few really expensive designs or have to import a working rocket from another nation due to a lack of skills. Metallurgy is difficult and only a few really smart nations kept that skill fully funded every decade.
Different nations also have different production lines so their own staff have to be able to keep up with new tech.
Importing tech is really bad as more skills are lost. Having any tech that works most of the time brings in commercial interest.

Give the world the ability to write tools. Block ads, block scripts, save content.
Imagine been able to create something useful on a Microsoft OS thats not a computer game.
Edge does nothing thats useful.
Been a browser that can surf the web without crashing or not failing as much is not a really a selling point.
