It's you who's "imagining" things. I actually was _there_ in the 90s, getting through university with a specialization in weapons design (rocket guidance systems mostly). My summer practice (aka "internship" in the West, I suppose, except you don't get to choose where to go) was at weapons design bureaus, which were somewhat decrepit at the time, but most definitely did not have the need to shop for surplus parts of unknown quality. In fact, even if you wanted to, at those places you couldn't bring anything in or out. Not even notes.
Yeah, yeah, man. As we all know pipes never rupture in the West, and there are never any crappy O-rings in Shuttle boosters. Ceramic tiles never fall off, either.
- pbaka 5y agoI see from your last sentence you are ready for the worldwide takeover by the well meaning people. You know your place, you learned your lesson, you will have a job when they come. That's also good because they won't need to keep a record of this comment in their databases in the Cloud for later use. /s /c
