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!

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!
