Bezos’ net worth is estimated around $191 Billion. If he was so inclined he could make up the funding shortfall out of pocket and probably wouldn’t even miss it.
Blue Origin sues NASA for awarding SpaceX $3bn contract to land next American boots on the Moon
By the way:
You were saying, Jeff?
(Video is cued.)
From an article that I posted in another thread:
This puts Bezos in the morally terrible position of being triumphant if the mission fails without him.
" Bezos’ Blue Origin is suing NASA because they chose Musk’s SpaceX to supply some space stuff over Blue Origin."
Some Space stuff???
It’s the next moon mission!
Kind of a big deal, and Bezos is a whiny space karen.
Regardless of what I may think of Musk, SpaceX at least has a track record of, you know, actual space exploration, including ISS crew missions. And now Bezos has the sourest of sour grapes after spending years just to get to a suborbital flight? Talk about people it’s hard to feel sorry for!
The BE-4 hasn’t even been flight tested yet, so the only person Bezos should be blaming is himself.
