- nieksand 6y agoMaybe it's hidden behind the paywall, but does anybody have a link to the actual challenge document from Blue Origin? I was not able to find it on the GAO website.

- BoorishBears 6y agoIf you actually read the challenge there doesn't seem to be much speaking against SpaceX vs for Blue Origin Mostly a series of points where they feel they were misevaluated. Not sure why everyone's trying to turn this into a soap opera
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoRegardless of my personal feelings about Bezos and Musk, the fact of the matter is that SpaceX is at least an order of magnitude to being able to actually land on the moon than Blue Origin. BO hasn't even launched to orbit yet, why are we considering their bid?
