  • Offering a Cheaper Ride to Orbit From the Middle of the Ocean By WILLIAM J. BROAD The New York Times - June 16, 1998 -- Some arms-control advocates, as well as the Clinton administration, which encouraged Sea Launch because it employs Russian and Ukrainian rocket makers who otherwise might pitch their wares and expertise to rogue states and terrorists. "It's rare that you find this kind of sweet technical fix to a lot of policy problems," said John E. Pike, head of space policy at the Federation of American Scientists, a private group in Washington.
