Great article about NASA and Blue Origin.

Sums up why everyone hates Bezos. If he were just a billionaire science geek, I would understand his space quest. But he feels the need to bilk the Treasury along the way.

Backed by the world’s richest man, Blue Origin indicated in its protest that the $5.9 billion price — nearly double SpaceX’s proposal — was partially based on an assumption that NASA would have more than enough money from Congress to pay for the proposal, even as Congress had been indicating a month before Blue Origin submitted its proposal last December that it wouldn’t give NASA all the funding it said it needed.

NASA's perfect response:
Blue Origin “made an assumption about the Agency’s HLS budget, built its proposal with this figure in mind, and also separately made a calculated bet that if NASA could not afford Blue Origin’s initially-proposed price, the Agency would select Blue Origin for award and engage in post-selection negotiations to allow Blue Origin to lower its price. All of these assumptions were incorrect,” the four NASA attorneys wrote in the so-called Agency Report, dated May 26th.

And yet, that's more respectable than Musk's NASA shenanigans.

Think about it.

Why? I’d rather billionaires pay to fund space tourism than taxpayer dollars pay for NASA.

They should offer the president and his entire cabinet the opportunity to accompany them as well.
