Building this big complicated thing is complicated!
If only there was some way we could share the risks with a few other countries. Maybe even someone who’s tried it and fucked it up.

People who fucked it up: “We need a new
gunea pigpartner to test this shit before we do it. We haven’t got a clue!”null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
I know you’re trying to be funny but that’s exactly what we, and they, are doing. Developing something this complex requires a lot of resources and has a lot of inherent risk. It makes sense to share that risk - everyone involved carries some.
We can’t go it alone but we definitely want the subs, we don’t want to just pay for them because then these partners have us over a barrel indefinitely.
