Boeing sells planes, sells them all over the world, and makes a lot of money. SpaceX's rockets can also be reused, so why not sell them? ...

American law International Traffic in Arms Regulations, commonly known as ITAR, prohibits the export of strategic materials and their technologies. Rocket technology belongs to ballistic missile-related technologies, and the items involved also overlap with those of ballistic missiles, so even NATO and other allied countries are The export is prohibited, which is basically the same as the control of dual-use items in my country.

In addition, the MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime) at the level of international law also restricts the export of missile-related technology by signatories. The United States is one of the signatories. (Not China)

Wouldn't it be nice to directly buy a launch with the lowest market price? For rocket companies and space agencies, purchasing other rockets means a loss of independence, and any bells and whistles will have serious consequences. This incident caused Ariane to lose the Alliance and Vega 2 rockets at once, leaving only the Ariane 5 with a performance slightly lower than that of the Falcon 9, but the price was as high as 139-185 million euros . The Antares, Atlas V, and Vega rockets have entered the countdown to elimination - just because the engines are all provided by Russia. ...
