Guy's a jerk, and it's going to cost NASA and Space X money just to defend their positions. NASA entered into a voluntary stop work which will 1) expedite the court proceedings, 2) end the stop work on November 1, and 3) give the Justice Department an early opportunity to ask for a summary judgement - an immediate ruling by the Federal Court of Claims judge. This does not stop SpaceX's development of Starship, just NASA's participation. Also, before this lawsuit was filed NASA paid SpaceX a $300m milestone payment for the HLS work SpaceX had completed.

IsItPluggedIn Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 They should have forced the proceedings and documents be made public to agree to the stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveL Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Personally I have a bad feeling about this. Bezos is not a stupid to jeopardize its creature in this way. Something is going to happen and I feel I will not like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Blue Origin defections continue, with at least 17 now public. Mostly these are Human Lander System lead engineers, Propulsion, and New Glenn orbital launcher related. One is a former astronaut.

Lovely blue planet, with an atmosphere made of Silicate, essentially, glass! It'd cut Bezos like he does his staff when they can't hit rate! I know it isn't a moon but I couldn't resist the cutting joke! spikey_richie, DocM and FloatingFatMan 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
