Why is the United States blocking the development of solid fuel-based rockets?
Since solid fuel can be stored inside a rocket, such missile types have been frequently used in military applications. In the case of liquid fuel rockets, if stored for too long, the fuel can erode the rocket structure itself. The technology related to solid fuel rockets is a direct road to Intercontinental Ballistic Missile technology and this is the part that the United States is concerned about.
