Ridiculous waste of 10 billion dollars on companies who will highjack NASA into wasting even more money for a couple of landing systems that will never make it into orbit, much less onto the moon. Hope the House of Reps. has sense enough to kill the bill or at least kill the Bezos bailout which will suck NASA dry.

I wonder why does government funds only large companies? A lot of young space endeavors deserve our attention but the lack of funding slows down their development. There are a lot of aerospace engineering companies, and I would like the British government to fund Skyrora. https://www.skyrora.com/skyrora-xl is the first British rocket the engine of which was manufactured using 3d printing technology.
