Court denies Blue Origin’s suit against NASA lunar lander contract award to SpaceX
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims yesterday denied Blue Origin’s suit against NASA’s lunar lander contract award to SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft.
NASA has immediately said it “will resume work with SpaceX under the Option A contract as soon as possible.”
I guess Blue Origin might have to consider the idea of actually building stuff now.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

It’s good that it continues. But for the radical left NASA the following seems to be the most important (taken from the statement): “… Through Artemis missions, NASA will lead the world in landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, …”
Drat! Lex Luthor foiled again.
So when is king Bozo going in front of the Supreme Court?
Questioner – I have long since come to the conclusion that you are correct and I have no doubt that the commander of the first Artemis mission to land on the moon will be a lady. It may also be a totally politically correct crew if they can swing it. I think it would be funny if the Lunar lander sent out was manned by a “Starship Specialist” who does not fit the narrative.
I just want to see a BE-4 work — is that too much to ask?
Yes. Bezos was too busy shaking down Tom Hanks for a sub-orbital ride at Soyuz level prices. That divorce must have cratered him more than we thought.
“I just want to see a BE-4 work — is that too much to ask?”
Unfortunately for you and ULA, yes it is.
Did they argue about the UNFAIRNESS of SpaceX being successful in their endeavors vs Blue Origins’ Penis Shaped Ship?? Shouldn’t the very fact of HAVING a penis shape take precedence over just a rocket? I’m rather surprised the Court didn’t allow them to access all the data and production facilities of Space X! You know, EQUITY!!
