Blue Origin beats SpaceX to win NASA moon lander contract.

Blue Origin, led by Jeff Bezos, has won a contract from NASA to develop a crewed lunar lander for delivering astronauts to the moon's surface under the agency's Artemis program. The team includes Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Draper, Astrobotic, and Honeybee Robotics. The competition, known as the Sustaining Lunar Development program, was a second-chance contest after SpaceX won the first crew lander contract in 2021. Both HLS and SLD are part of NASA's Artemis program to land astronauts on the moon, with the agency hoping to start flying crews to the lunar surface within the next few years.
