NASA has awarded Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his private rocket firm a $3.4 billion contract to take astronauts back to the moon, the US space agency’s exploration chief Jim Free said Friday.
‘We are going to the Moon!’ Bezos captioned his own announcement on Instagram, alongside a mock-up of Blue Origin’s proposed lunar lander, ‘this time to stay.’
Bezos’ Blue Origin is the second company to score a lunar mission project as part of NASA’s Artemis program, following Elon Musk‘s SpaceX, which won $3 billion in 2021 to put humans back on the moon for the first time since 1972.
