All kidding aside, the Russian (or Chinese) price is irrelevant once a
US commercial provider becomes available. There are "buy American"
provisions in the law. SpaceX and the others don't have to match
Russia's price. Once Dragon (or any other US commercial vehicle) is
available and meets NASA's requirements, NASA will buy it and stop
buying Soyuz/Progress. Period.


isnt buy american illegal? given things like NAFTA and all the other
free trade laws?


No, not for government items.

Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC.


Now why should that be?

Not that I think the flood of foreign products into our country
decimating entire industries is good.. really its bad.

We are losing the ability to feed clothe and supply our own needs, to
save a buck and putting a large number out of work
