Reply to comment by [deleted] in Blue Origin awarded NASA launch contract for Mars mission (Studying magnetic field) by kuroimakina

Oh there are similarities when you describe the two cases at a surface level. But any kind of deeper look at the two scenarios should make it super obvious that it's not really things that are comparable

The contracts that SpaceX won very early on when they were basically a very young startup with no proven track record. Those contracts are comparable to this contract that BO has been awarded

Yeah I'd agree, and good thing the risk was taken back then, just as it's good to do so now with BO
