Am I the only thinking that working on a project like this would be awesome ? From an engineering point of view, they offer an incredible technical challenge.

- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoYeah, fascinating, stimulating, also potentially very selfish.
- wavefunction 13y agoThere's a whole world of problems like that though, that don't involve questionable ethical practices (depending on your own personal beliefs). Math is the language of reality, it's applicable to anything so I don't know why getting involved with these sorts of projects over just about anything else is so alluring from a technical standpoint.

- peterkelly 13y agoThere's plenty of awesome projects out there you can work on that don't involve selling your soul to the devil. It doesn't matter how cool a project is. If it's wrong, you have an ethical responsibility to not get involved with it.

The usual reasons are the mortgage and childrens education funds. Thank you for not smoking. The defence (what a misnomer that is) industry has lots of very clever people working for it as well.
