Noteworthy Quote: Russian Rocket Roulette

"Yet why send hundreds of millions of dollars more to cash-strapped Russia when engines from three American companies will be able to launch rockets that can do the same job as Russian-engine-fitted Atlas V rockets? At about $100 million a launch with an American-made rocket compared with ULA’s $400 million a launch, that’s a bargain in more ways than one."

-- Ron Wahid in a Wall Street Journal editorial titled "American Plays Russsian Rocket Roulette."   The three American companies he mentions are SpaceX, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Blue Origin.
