It is worth noting that this will be the FIRST attempt by Blue Origin to reach true outer space or escape velocity. Yet they have managed to secure billions in NASA and federal contracts for spaceflight. Doesn't that seem odd?

Not odd. It takes years and a lot of resources to develop a viable launch platform. It is also highly desirable to have more than one provider.
