The agency awarded SpaceX a contract for the first mission back to the moon after opting to go with a single supplier amid budget constraints.\nInan open letter Monday to Bill Nelson, NASA’s administrator, Mr. Bezos said his fee-waiving offer over roughly the next two years would remove those constraints.\n“I believe this mission is important. I am honored to offer these contributions and am grateful to be in a financial position to be able to do so,” Mr. Bezos said.\nSpaceX won the $2.9 billion Artemis contract in April, beating out bids by both Blue Origin and a unit of Virginia-basedLeidos HoldingsInc.,which provides scientific and technological services. The arrangement expanded SpaceX’s relationship with NASA, which already is contracting its Falcon 9 rockets to ferry astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station.\nA spokesman for Space Exploration Technologies Corp., as the company is formally known, didn’t respond to a request for comment.\nBoth Blue Origin and Dynetics filed protests of the contract award to SpaceX with the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which is due to rule on them by next week. NASA said it wouldn’t comment on Mr. Bezos’ letter because of those efforts.\nNASA determined that Blue Origin’s bid price for the lander contract amounted to $5.99 billion, according to the company’s protest with the GAO. The gap between Blue Origin’s higher bid and SpaceX’s would narrow, according to Mr. Bezos’ letter to NASA, but it might not close completely.\nIn addition to the offer to waive $2 billion in payments, Blue Origin promised to fund an additional mission of the lander to low-Earth orbit, the letter said. It didn’t estimate how much that effort would cost. A Blue Origin spokeswoman declined to comment.\nNASA has said its decision to award SpaceX the lander contract was a first step, and not the final one, in the agency’s plans to tap outside companies to provide moon-landing services.\nMr. Nelson said previously at a congressional hearing that NASA would seek $5 billion in additional government funding to support future bids for its lunar lander system.\nGreg Autry, who was nominated by the Trump administration to serve as NASA’s finance chief but never received a Senate confirmation vote, said the agency has successfully hired multiple contractors for important space programs. He said NASA should take advantage of what Blue Origin proposed.\n“Nothing is more important than having a backup system,” Mr. Autry said.\nMr. Bezos’ appeal came a week afterhe traveled into spacein a flight that highlighted Blue Origin’s interest in the nascent space-tourism market. The company has beentrying to develop a business beyond that sector, however.\nIn addition to competing for the moon lander, Blue Origin has beendeveloping a rocket called the New Glennthat is designed to take large payloads into orbit but hasn’t yet flown. The company is behind in its plans to launch the New Glenn and said in February that it was targeting a maiden flight for late next year.\nBlue Origin also struck a deal to develop a new rocket engine for United Launch Alliance, which launches satellites for the Pentagon and U.S. spy agencies, but that effort has also experienced delays.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":803546205,"gmtCreate":1627451908107,"gmtModify":1703490236655,"author":{"id":"3577997605150210","authorId":"3577997605150210","name":"Suba","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/053ae4273b989a37e570ad5f7b35a6d6","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/803546205","repostId":1191373683,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5355399,"gmtCreate":1627451918825,"gmtModify":1663231608957,"authorId":3577997605150210,"author":{"id":3577997605150210,"authorId":3577997605150210,"name":"Suba","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/053ae4273b989a37e570ad5f7b35a6d6","vip":1,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":803546205,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Well","text":"Well","html":"Well"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":803526191,"gmtCreate":1627450146313,"gmtModify":1703490207637,"author":{"id":"3572622102225035","authorId":"3572622102225035","name":"TheHaq","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa8f425ae08e71ad8583df23f2813d71","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Jeff who??
