What Rocket Lab just did totally humiliated Blue Origin after SpaceX… What Rocket Lab just did totally humiliated Blue Origin after SpaceX… Rocket Lab has officially challenged NASA’s $700 million Mars Telecommunications Network contract awarded to Blue Origin — and the fight has now moved to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). The surprising part? Elon Musk and SpaceX aren’t even part of the lawsuit, but the entire dispute highlights just how far ahead SpaceX has moved in the commercial space race. NASA needs to replace two aging Mars orbiters that have been relaying data from every rover and lander on the Red Planet for more than 20 years. But did NASA choose the right company, or did Rocket Lab have the stronger legal and technical case? In this video, we answer: Why did Rocket Lab file a formal GAO protest against NASA’s Blue Origin contract? What is NASA’s Mars Telecommunications Network (MTN) and why is it worth $700 million? Did Blue Origin actually meet Congress’ eligibility requirements for the program? Source:
