It’s a shame that we had to rely on RD-180 rocket engines from Russia in the first place.

Having cheaper Russian engines available undercuts the profitability of the US engine industry, and means it will be longer before we have the needed US-made engines.

We should also bar Chinese components in “US-made” engines, for national-security reasons.
