What is intemafional? Can anyone help me out with the meaning of "intemafional"? I could not understand this statement... " Even diplomats might play a role-- insofar as major space projects require intemafional cooperative efforts among the world's scientists and government."

Did you read this in a pdf file or newspaper? I think it was meant to be "international" but because m looks a bit like rn that mistake often happens in print and pdf files. Same with t and f. I've often seen this error in my own books!

" Even diplomats might play a role-- insofar as major space projects require intemational cooperative efforts among the world's scientists and government."


My interpretation, looking forward to having help with you to some degree

===>

So far,  major space projects need international cooperative efforts among the world's scientists and government and even diplomats might take part in major space projects.

I think it is obviously a "scanno," an error made by optical character recognition (OCR) scanning the word "international." There isn't any word remotely close to "intemafional" and while, as Mary notes, "rn" can easily be mis-scanned as "m" and "f" can be mis-scanned as "t." The only puzzle is why the OCR software didn't catch this itself.
