Elon Musk’s sues United States over Space Deal

Elon Musk’s SpaceX decides to take United States to court over favoring its rivals Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin through setting down multimillion contracts and turn down SpaceX’s bid.

The lawsuit claims that US Air Force catered to the needs of the nation’s largest and longtime spacecraft launch service provider United Launch Alliance (ULA) when it awarded lucrative contracts to the ULA. This gave the ULA is a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, an unjust advantage, the lawsuit alleges.

Blue Origin owned by Elon Musk‘s rival billionaire Jeff Bezos, and Northrop Grumman – both produce major components for United Launch alliance (ULA).

Accusing the US government of violating terms by leaving Elon Musk’s SpaceX out in the cold, the legal plea takes aim at the technical details of the favored trio’s bids, alleging that they failed to produce any proof that their ‘paper rockets’ will ever fly.
