They have spent what amounts to an obscene amount of money lobbying in DC. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and founder of Amazon, offered a $2 billion discount to the space agency last month.After Blue Origin protested NASA's decision to select SpaceX as the sole contract winner, the US Government Accountability Office confirmed the decision this week. Since then, SpaceX has waged an online information war.Blue Origins views Starship as a slow, dangerous, and inefficient way to reach the lunar surface. The company stated this week that it would take more than ten Starship launches before one can be fueled up enough to travel all the way to Moon. Musk was not pleased with the statement, but he did agree with it slightly on Wednesday.AdvertisementAdvertisementMusk tweeted that if lobbying and lawyers could get you to orbit, Bezos [right now] would be on Pluto.Elon Musk says it could take eight Starship Launches for a single Moon Trip to be fueled by Starship
