Blue Origin and Dynetics are challenging the award going to SpaceX.

This is the entitled world of government contractors and it is annoying.

Blue Origin - Would cost more and give you less in return

Dynetics - Did not even meet the requirements in their bid.

Screw it. Let Musk build his own space agency and launch facilities from scratch. Cut out the government middle man.

Elon doesn’t need NASA to get to Mars or the Moon but NASA can’t even get to low earth orbit without Elon.

Up until 2-3 years ago, they used a former nuke my grandpa worked on in the 50s just fine. You know it as the delta rocket.

NASA is so full of shite. They never sent a man to the moon either.

This is a microcosm that is representative of the sad current day reality of our Nation. We did more with fricking slide rules in the 60’s.

We are back-sliding in so many areas of achievement. It’s as though we don’t have the collective will for it, and the massive waste and corruption in the federal government compounds it exponentially.

I'm wondering how long before the uber rich just buy their own island and claim sovereignty. Just move your company to this new land. Put in place you're own rules. Still pay taxes in wherever you operate. spend a few hundred million on security, etc.

Yeah, it's like how the hell could they send guys to the moon 50 years ago when the moon is 230,000 miles from earth and through a radiation belt. But nowadays they only send astronauts to the international space station that is 254 miles away.

Our space program may be a joke but NASA is more diverse now. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

And this is what's most important in every aspect of our society today.

If it's not diverse and equitable, it needs to be destroyed.

Bought more politicians.

Hence Musk losing the award.

Wasn’t Musk working on Starship before the damn contract was announced? I doubt he stops moving forward now.

Cold War propaganda sounds like the simplest explanation for how the US could do something that no other country has done.
