My money’s on Musk. I don’t know if he’ll get a rocket to Mars before Bezos, but SpaceX clearly has better chops.

Has Bezos even put a rocket in orbit? SpaceX has a successful track record.
Starship will be successful, too, once the wrinkles are ironed out.

It seems like NASA (read fed. govt.) has chosen the low ball bidder…

Now ... Blue Origin has so far only managed to launch a manned giant phallus into a very suborbital trajectory.

To me it looks like the government has chosen the Leftist bidder. Musk is not on the top of this administration’s chosen winners list. Bezos is.

What would be hilarious would be if the Blue Origin gets to Mars and Musk has a crew waiting there with welcome banners.
