					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Then you’re going to get your wish. Gateway was nearly entirely off-shored and outsourced. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, even setting aside all the later add-on modules, which are mostly being provided by foreign partners (ESA, JAXA, UAE, CSA), even Northrop Grumman&#039;s HALO module is largely a European production, including the Thales Alenia-built base pressure hull. The PPE, which is being built by Maxar, seems to be the one obvious Gateway component almost wholly built in the USA. 

I don&#039;t know if the White House noticed that. But if it comes to a budget fight for Gateway, someone might bring it up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jeff Wright,

Then you&#039;re going to get your wish.  Gateway was nearly entirely off-shored and outsourced.  That was kinda the point of the whole misbegotten exercise.  With commercial replacements for SLS-Orion all but certainly forthcoming from SpaceX and Blue Origin we also won&#039;t be needing any European-built Orion service modules in future either.]]></description>
