Blue Origin, by itself, will probably never get to buy a Mars Candy Bar. Bezos is trying to purchase an entirely different rocket company, United Launch Alliance (ULA). ULA has a proven launch record. I can just see Bezos slapping a Blue Origin label on the ULA rockets and calling Blue Origin a success.
Bezos just fired the top Blue Origin exec. The just-fired exec spent 4 years launching nothing while SpaceX has more launches than most countries combined. SpaceX has not just proven reusability, they have mastered it.
To demonstrate the success and cost efficiency of SpaceX, the European Space Alliance (ESA) has contracted 4 satellite launches with SpaceX. Not Blue Origin, SpaceX. ESA is so mired in bureaucracy, they cannot launch their own rockets and satellites.
The only thing holding back SpaceX from being much further along with Starship is the Hussein/Biden Regime. Besides the FAA and the FCC, The Regime even has the Federal Fish & Wildlife Administration slowing down SpaceX. Disgusting.
In one of the most hilarious nuisance lawsuits brought by The Regime, they accused SpaceX of not hiring foreigners. Since SpaceX has very serious technology, only citizens are allowed to get near. When the suit was presented in court, the judge basically stated What The ??? and dismissed the suit.
“Since SpaceX has very serious technology, only citizens are allowed to get near.”
Not only that, SpaceX is launching the most highly confidential payloads for the National Reconnoissance Office. No non-citizens are getting anywhere near that.
