Blue Origin founder Jeff ‘Astronaut’ Bezos attacks the U.S. space program in court after he fails to secure a contract for the upcoming lunar lander. Why would a boy who dreamed of space travel double-down on his sore-loserism in an apparent effort to nuke the moon landing.

I’d say getting humans to Mars is aptly described as Elon’s hobby, actually — albeit a hobby with some serious vision and purpose behind it. Accomplishing it is largely an expenditure and not something that will bring in revenue (for many years, at least). Everything else SpaceX does as a self-sustaining company exists to support that ultimate goal. I would love to see Bezos and Branson think bigger and put their resources behind a similarly grand vision that takes us places. I suspect Elon would too. So I hold out some hope for them to come around, even as I marvel that, thus far, they’ve aspired to build so little from so much.
Bezos strikes me as one of those people who is competent at one thing, and wildly successful at it, and thinks therefore that they are competent at anything they want to be and can be wildly successful at anything.
Bezos is taking a page from his CCP overlord’s playbook: If you can’t win with talent, then hobble your competition.
We can put a man on the moon…oh, wait
Bezos is mad because he’s not getting his participation trophy.
Say what you want, but Musk is spending lots of his own money and getting repeatable results. The only thing that might slow him down is a fatal accident, but he’s the type of guy who thinks if there might be a problem would scrub the launch rather than risk people’s lives.
Spacex will become the next Pan-Am while these other guys are working on regional budget airlines. I know he’s got his eyes on a Mars shot, but I think he should be setting up a refueling and supply depot in Earth orbit for Lunar mining and exploration runs. He’ll need a more equatorial launch site to keep transfer flight costs within reason, but I’m sure Brazil would help him out there.
Something’s up with the rumble video..stops before Scott even gets to asking the guys questions.
Cancel that..seems fine now.
