Blue Origin's HLS Proposal Had A Lot Of Problems
Newly Released Court Documents Obliterate Blue Origin’s Lawsuit Against NASA, Futurism
The US Court of Federal Claims has released a 47 page document detailing its decision to drop Blue Origin’s legal challenge against NASA — and it’s a scathing rebuttal, full of damning details. In the documents, shared by New York Times space reporter Joey Roulette on Twitter today, the court expanded on its decision. “The Court finds that Blue Origin does not have standing because it did not have a substantial chance of award but for the alleged evaluation errors,” it reads. The court also found that Blue Origin’s proposal “was priced well above NASA’s available funding and was itself noncompliant.”
I’m sure this part of BO’s lawsuit didn’t help…

Only one term applies to Blue’s proposal; dumpster fire.
I never could understand how BO made such an accusation to begin with. One, they haven’t put anything into space (I consider New Shepard a very high flying thing), and two their prices much higher. At least when they make the movie “Earth to the Moon” decades from now this story can have lots of drama like in those law shows.
BO needs to talk with Boeing about how to find the right “soon to retire NASA people” on the selection board if they want to win. The Boeing way is to approach prior to, then hire retired NASA right away, pay 200K a year for part time work, all from home.
It gets you a win every time.
