The irony is that at an Export class someone asked if a license would be required to ship things to other planets.
Needless to say, all of us just bursted out laughing.
We finally learned that the actual export would be to over seas and from their, another company would try to put things on other planets. I dont think the director of the seminar ever gave us a direct answer to her question.

Why do I have the image of someone at the DOS with a really big stick pin in their hand?

It probably doesn’t matter that filing the CJ will lock POOF into ITAR control until further notice. Just applying for ITAR authority would probably be quicker. Maybe the problem is they want to apply for export authority NOW, but don’t yet know what hardware/data will need to be exported later, or to where. I’ve heard US Gov agencies make that suggestion under similar circumstances.
