Sometimes it seriously seems like SpaceX is the only rad thing this country has left

Yeah that's a much cooler name than Apollo.

Why is that animation so shitty?

Bezos is such a loser...

Who was it that said “your move, Elon” after that New Shepard hop? Lol. Hell of a next move.

Why are we still giving that snake oil salesman money? That rendering while cool is very very impractical.

I will laugh my arse off if Musk actually puts a Tesla truck on the moon.
My prediction with it being Musk, I am going to laugh my arse off

Elon is the richest guy in the world. Crazy that Bezos can sell everything to everybody in the world and it's still more profitable to business with the US govt.

So now we know moon travel is pure unadulterated fraud?

Finally, we can put a black Muslim tranny on the moon for equality

Starship about to get some more funding!

What a horribly lackluster animation. That looks like it was done by a high school kid.

Dammit. I guess they didn’t like the spreadsheet I made.
It had macros and everything, even the 3D charts. FML.

A few thoughts:
1. Congress didn't give NASA enough budget this year to select two competitors as they wanted to. SpaceX was only selected because they were able to push out part of their funding to later periods. Blue Origin wanted early payments that are not allowed in the RFP and Dynetics, amazingly, is now the highest cost proposal.
2. I hate to see the hometown choice Dynetics (Huntsville) lose out, but NASA had serious concerns about the mass of their lander already being too heavy in its early design stages. Cost wasn't the reason for not selecting their proposal.
3. SpaceX's program management rating was rated the highest of the three. NASA clearly has a lot of confidence in SpaceX's ability to execute, as well as faith in its leader, Gwynne Shotwell. Musk is the visionary while Shotwell is the brilliant business leader keeping it all together. They are an incredible team.
4. This is the official beginning of the end of SLS. The way NASA worded the announcement gives them a political out.
5. NASA didn't want to be left behind. How embarrassing it would be if SpaceX went to the moon first without NASA.
