One great strength SpaceX has, and this can't be said for most other contractors in the launch biz, is that he doesn't subsidize our Russian enemy by buying engines from them. ALL launch system vendors make some percentage (koff koff) of their incomes off gubmint largesse. SpaceX's percentage is in fact the lowest. That doesn't stop MDS. Anyway, thanks again JH!
