I could probably deal with the Mojave. Dry heat and all that. cymrullewes would just die off though.

I can't figure out why it's US citizens only. As far as I know, Scaled Composites does no defence work. (Of course, if they were working on military projects, maybe we wouldn't</b. know, without some suitably high security clearance....)

Right... Frankly, I would say that the requirement is a strong indication that they do have their hands in some federal pies. It's the simplest explanation for such a limitling clause.

Yup, Occam's Razor does tend to suggest it. Stealthy RPVs or UAVs, perhaps.

Sorry about that.

Citizenship requirement

[felinecanine.livejournal.com]

I am puzzled about this requirement also. In many cases it violates equal opportunity laws to even ask about citizenship. You're only permitted to ask about a right to work in the US under EEOC guidelines (http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html) (http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html)

I'm sure there are exceptions, and perhaps this is one of them.

Anything where a security clearance and/or US citizenship are mandatory for the job, they pretty much have to say so up front. I don't think that conflicts with EEOC.
