Like knowing what kinds of alloys turned out not to work and why, etc. So you don't have to repeat all that.
- georgeg23 4y agoHonestly this espionage thing is overrated. Plenty of employees in the US take their knowledge to (domestic) competitors and find it quite hard to just clone a business. The Russians and US were stealing each other's plans during the space race but this often led to misunderstood and suboptimal designs.
