Bezos and Blue Origin first filed the lawsuit against NASA in August, after the space agency chose Musk's SpaceX to develop a Human Landing System to bring astronauts to the moon.
"Instead of investing in two competing lunar landers as originally intended, the Agency chose to confer a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar head start to SpaceX. That decision broke the mold of NASA's successful commercial space programs by putting an end to meaningful competition for years to come," Bezos wrote in the letter.
Following the judge's ruling on Thursday, a spokesperson for Blue Origin said in a statement sent to CNBC that the lawsuit"highlighted the important safety issues with the Human Landing System procurement process that must still be addressed." "Returning astronauts safely to the Moon through NASA's public-private partnership model requires an unprejudiced procurement process alongside sound policy that incorporates redundant systems and promotes competition. Blue Origin remains deeply committed to the success of the Artemis program," the statement said, per CNBC.reached out to Blue Origin and SpaceX for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
