The company has appealed against the $ 2.9 billion decision to allocate $ 2.9 billion to billionaire Elon Musk’s company SpaceX to build a lunar module, arguing that NASA’s space agency should have identified multiple suppliers rather than favoring one. However, the US Audit Office, where the complaint was sent, stated that the protest was rejected.
“Without competition, NASA’s short-term and long-term monthly ambitions will be delayed, eventually costing more, which is not in the national interest,” Bezos said.
In April, NASA signed a contract with SpaceX to build a spacecraft to deliver astronauts to the lunar surface in 2024.
