You have to do a lot of testing to make sure it will survive to orbit, and even more to make sure it will work probably once its there. Yes they can and yes it would if we were going to be sending a bunch into space.

So your strategy would be to flood space with untested cheap satellites...great, so all the Chinese have to do is blow those up and create vast fields os space junk that would degrade our space assets anyways. Good job there....

Do you have anything serious to post on the topic?
