Thank you for your editorial regarding Patrick DeWitt, president of Space Systems/Loral, ["Protectionism Is No Solution," March 10, page 18], regarding his request for banning foreign competition by European satellite builders using a Chinese launch vehicle. The obvious financial advantage of using the Chinese Long March is undeniable; however, its use should be viewed as an opportunity for U.S. technology development. My company, Failure Analysis, currently is soliciting Space Systems/Loral and other U.S. satellite and launch vehicle builders to explore our technology that promises to lower the cost to produce satellites and launch vehicles far below the cost savings for satellite customers using the Chinese Long March.
