Thanks for sharing , got so excited to see a Ford of Rocket launchers. Didn't realise rockets had got to a stage where they are built in car type production.

Not for much longer though. Vulcan is coming online in the following years, replacing the Atlas V we see in that video. US also already has alternatives (and has had them for many years now).
Having said that, the RD-180 engine was the result of one of the most successful international cooperation projects in this sector ever. A true success story.
