The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) decision to award Hawthorne, California-based aerospace launch services provider Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) with a multi-billion dollar contract for the agency Moon landing program faced opposition from Kent, Washington equipment manufacturer Blue Origin Federation, LLC, founded by retail billionaire Jeff Bezos in the year 2000. NASA made the award in April this year, following which Blue Origin challenged the agency's decision, accusing it of violating the contract solicitation rules.
