Elon Musk’s SpaceX Wins Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin in Court Case

  • A federal judge has ruled against Blue Origin in its standoff with NASA and SpaceX
  • The Jeff Bezos’s owned company had accused NASA of showing favoritism in awarding Elon Musk’s SpaceX the contract for a space project
  • The dispute between the Space companies was over who will build the lander intended to take humans back to the moon

A federal court ruled against Jeff Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, on Thursday in a dispute with NASA.

Blue Origin had accused NASA of favoring SpaceX in awarding a contract to build the lander intended to take humans back to the moon.

Both billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos wanted the contract for their companies but it was handed to the former.

Since then, Bezos’ Blue Origin has fought the decision, claiming that NASA unfairly favored SpaceX for the contract.

However, all of the company’s effort to overturn that decision so far has fallen flat as the Federal Judge ruled in favor of NASA on Thursday.

The US Federal Court of Claims ruled that the bidding process for the $2.9 billion contract was fair.

The space agency has now disclosed that the program which was put on hold will resume “as soon as possible”.
