Flying early missions successfully will build NASA’s trust and confidence in the companies’ respective vehicles – and help them toward the race’s ultimate prize (i.e. follow-on contracts). Both SpaceX and Blue Origin heavily self-capitalize, meaning NASA can partner on the projects without significant increases to its annual budget. (NASA acknowledged in public documents that both companies underbid their competitors to secure the contracts.) The private funding also means NASA is insulated from excessive costs. The lander contracts are filled with milestones the companies must hit in order to see paydays, and the fixed-price nature of both awards means that any cost or delay overruns are absorbed by the private ventures, rather than taxpayers – a contrast to the billions in over-spending of NASA’s existing SLS rocket and Orion capsule programs for Artemis. The projects will also grant invaluable experience to the companies’ talent. The pair each count national workforces in the 10,000-employee range, and the scale of the lunar Artemis lander projects has the companies hiring even more. Just as talent who worked on rockets that reached orbit are highly sought after in the industry, the folks who work on these vehicles will be valuable to companies and organizations for years to come. ---- We use images and content in accordance with the YouTube Fair Use copyright guidelines: Any questions about copyright please send us via Gmail: myspacehouse99@ To be resolved, thank you.
