"U.S. satellite makers were aware of these problems before committing their costly equipment to China for launch, Lilienstein wrote, but apparently accepted the risk because of the lower overall cost of Chinese commercial launchers."
I suppose we don't have as many restrictions using Chinese launchers as we have with Russian launchers. The obvious solution is for the U.S. to get into the cheap launch game.We can do it if we have the will, but that has been lacking.
