Memo Many small rockets coming on scene from SDIO Limited commercial
impact.
Trade deals need to prevent "dumping" of Russian, Chinese
rockets. STILL, U.S. will lose out to France/Europe until some
bold new rocket is developed - may be unaffordable, require
international cooperation (like giant Boeing airliner).
Continued U.S. leadership in satellites may depend on occasional
use of Russian or Chinese rockets. Europeans will fight this.
