Not only will it enable Russian space technology to be used by us but it will give employment to many people in that country and potentially stop technology leaks to other "countries"

Russia has a long history in the developement and use of such vehicles too.Also if this comes to fruition it would cost less to manufacter to as Russian labour costs are lower too.We also have Ariane 5 and the Russian have a multitude of reliable cheap launchers.They could even revive the Energia rocket used in the Buran programme.

I just hope that our stupid governments don’t try to be too finicky.After all the Indians and Chinese may be interested too!
