Sure if you consider plastic to be hot.

I prefer little submarine jaunts to the Titanic for them, myself.

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 worldâs richest man, Blue Origin indicated in its protest that the $5.9 billion price â nearly double SpaceXâs proposal â 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 wouldnât give NASA all the funding it said it needed.
NASA's perfect response:
Blue Origin âmade an assumption about the Agencyâs HLS budget, built its proposal with this figure in mind, and also separately made a calculated bet that if NASA could not afford Blue Originâs 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,â 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.
