That's cute. Maybe they should challenge SpaceX and put a single piece of anything in orbit before they sue for the right to put people on the moon for double the price SpaceX is charging.

>Bob Smith, chief executive of Blue Origin, said NASA’s decision was based on flawed evaluations of the bids — misjudging advantages of Blue Origin’s proposal and downplaying technical challenges in SpaceX’s. He also said NASA had placed a bigger emphasis on bottom-line cost than it said it would.

>“It’s really atypical for NASA to make these kinds of errors,” Mr. Smith said in an interview. “They’re generally quite good at acquisition, especially its flagship missions like returning America to the surface of the moon. We felt that these errors needed to be addressed and remedied.”

"it's obviously a mistake because they didn't throw money at lockheed, boeing, and us."

Edit: I wonder if this complaint will be used as a way for congresscritters to make NASA change their plans. Can't just call it a jobs program, but if you can allege an error on NASA's part, you've got a lot of cover to put your thumb on the scale.
