Blue Origin's Jeff Bezos wages lawfare on NASA and SpaceX - NewsBreak

Say what you will about Jeff Bezos , but he is not a quitter when it comes to getting a contract that he believes is his due. When NASA awarded a sole contract to Blue Origin's main rival SpaceX for the Human Landing System (HLS) that will take Americans back to the moon, Bezos, as well as another contractor, Dynetics, complained to the General Accounting Office (GAO). On July 30, the GAO denied the protests. Congress provided only enough money for one HLS, at least for the first round. NASA found that SpaceX offered a superior design. The fact that Elon Musk offered the lowest bid did not hurt either.
