NASA Made BIG Mistake With the Blue Origin...Musk Exposes!
Blue Origin has always dreamed of going toe-to-toe with SpaceX. And now? They’ve finally got their shot.
NASA has chosen Jeff Bezos’s company as a potential alternative to SpaceX for future missions. Sounds like a big win, right?
To rise to the challenge, Blue Origin set an ambitious goal for its heavy-lift rocket, New Glenn, and they actually looked on track.
Yet despite all its ambitious goals, Jeff Bezos’s company faces an uphill battle in overtaking its rival. Not because SpaceX is unbeatable, but because past missteps have triggered a domino effect that's now obstructing nearly every step Blue Origin takes today.
The result? Another disappointing year, rising pressure, and Bezos reportedly losing patience. NASA’s faith? Fading fast.
Find out everything in today's Techmap episode!

NASA is actively exploring alternatives to SpaceX, especially amid the unpredictable tensions between Trump and Elon Musk. One high-profile candidate? Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin. But let’s be honest—this backup plan doesn’t inspire much confidence. Over its 25-year existence, Blue Origin has managed to launch its only orbital rocket, New Glenn, exactly once. One orbital launch in two and a half decades, despite a billion dollars in yearly funding? That’s not just underwhelming—it’s embarrassing. The company is arguably better known for offering suborbital joyrides to billionaires and filing lawsuits against SpaceX.

Despite its sparse resume, Blue Origin remains on NASA’s radar—largely due to the money and political clout of its founder. A January 2025 report from The Hill revealed that Blue Origin has been actively lobbying for space launch funding, hiring firms like S-3 Group to influence defense appropriations for space logistics.
The company pushed hard for a $10 billion boost to NASA’s moon-lander program and lobbied to be selected as a second contractor alongside SpaceX—after publicly contesting the 2021 award of a $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to SpaceX. Despite losing that legal battle, Blue Origin scored a $3.4 billion NASA contract in 2023 to build a separate lunar lander. Reports suggest the company will spend “well north of $3.4 billion” of its own capital on the project.
