@AVindman China right? The fear being that if the US divests from Saudi Arabia then China will happily fill the void. Of course when it comes to weapon platforms it would take years and $$$ for the Saudis to move over to Chinese platforms. Better SA/Russia today then SA/China tomorrow?
@fmanjoo What do you think about rationing test load to improve response time? Obviously we should never need such a thing but if majority of test results can't be returned in less than 24-48hrs then what's the point (as you say)?
@Erdayastronaut I'm sure you've been asked this before but is the methane collected after a test or vented? And if vented then any idea how bad the venting of methane after a test requiring fuel is for the atmosphere (how many cow burps are we talking)? Thanks!
