Wait for it... Virgin Galactic is about to commit suicide after buying some Tacobell but before they eat it.

So you're saying VG's doors fall off in space?

I also enjoy “Boing Bad” jokes. However, that’s how Non-Diclosure agreements work.

There will be no technology investments without the ability to keep your own technology.

Would that necessitate destroying the data though?
Boeing & VG might collaborate in the future. Seems excessive and paranoid to destroy the data outright

Absolutely. I have done dozens of NDAs with dozens of companies . They all have that clause.

However the disclosing company asks for their data to be distroyed if held by the other party. You don’t have to destroy your own IP.

Criminal law also forbids killing whistleblowers....

Which sucks, because it just leads to less scientific knowledge and progress. It's why it's much more efficient to cooperate, than to compete.

First the whistleblower now this... 🤔
