Dartz Wrote:Owning handwavium requires the completion of a mandatory recognised safety course and a Garda-issued permit. Spacecraft and vehicle must maintain proper registration documents subject to inspection and in theory, pilots overflying Ireland would require a legally recognised license. Nobody bothers to check. Many choose to just use ocean-landing craft and dock at seaports.Myk-El Miller, being one of the better known people doing Handwavium handling training, has taken the effort to be one of the "recognised safety trainers", partly for his business as a trainer, but also so that Jupiter Mining Corporation can be completely covered through his regular safety training for their personnel.
Jupiter Mining Corporation does maintain scrupulous registration and safety inspection documentation for any country that sets that up, assuming it's not an obscenely high hurdle to jump over. The Blue Midgets can be used as 'wet navy' style delivery craft in a pinch, but it's definitely not preferred, especially for larger cargo.
In Britain, JMC tends to liase with the Blue Blazers contingent if there's any sort of trouble, although this tends to be because someone outside the JMC has caused an issue. The only real contention has been with the BBC, and that's only because of the Red Dwarf copyright issues. That was smoothed over by cutting a deal to provide transport for some shows 'pro bono', the first being the somewhat amusing, and controversial in some parts of the world, Special Fenspace Episode of Top Gear.
JMC treads very carefully in the United States, following as many ordinances and laws as they can, unless they're completely out there. There are a couple of states they won't land any ships in, just because they have a couple of completely outlandish - and likely completely unenforceable - laws on the books regarding handwavium exposure.
