How serious of an effort did Northrop and Lockheed put in though?
Blue Origin isn't really a serious contender, and has very few actual flights under their belt. I have no idea, but I'd think the other two companies probably were mostly a "consultancy" role to provide clout behind BO.
It's pretty perplexing BO would take point on such a major undertaking given their vast lack of experience.
