elon musk the ceo of spacex is on a vendetta since spacex has been awarded with the 2.9 billion human
landing system or hls contract instead of jeff bezos's blue origin the two space companies led by
two of the world's wealthiest men have been locked in a bitter feud that shows no signs of abating
want to dig in more let's begin hey guys welcome back to our channel elon musk evolution where
we tell you all the latest news about elon musk and his multi-billion dollar companies
in today's video we are going to tell you about the new contract spacex is getting prioritized for
so stay with us till the end of this video in the most recent spat musk took to twitter to mock blue
origin's blue moon lander the company's answer to spacex's starship lunar variant currently in
development somehow this didn't persuade musk as he responded with a picture of a deflated
looking early mock-up of blue origin's stalky moonlander moreover he tweeted a screen grab of
the new york times article about the blue moon lunar lander with the word moon crudely erased
and replaced with balls the dunk fest began when musk gave forbes an interview after surpassing
jeff bezos to become the world's richest man musk wrote to forbes in an email i'm sending a giant
statue of the digit 2 to jeffrey bait along with a silver medal and that was just the warm-up act
the next day at tuesday's code con 2021 musk sat down with tech reporter kara swisher and it was
all systems go for jokes about bezos's a rocket swisher set musk up according to guardian reporter
carrie paul by asking about bezos's blue origin mission and remarking that you all make fun of
each other's rockets well it could be a different shape says the narrator musk made a joke about
bezos's blue origin capsule which has a phallic shape however the conversation became more heated
when musk chastised bezos for suing tesla ceo elon musk's spacex company i think i've expressed my
thoughts on that front i think he should put more of his energy into getting to orbit rather than
lawsuits musk said tuesday at the codecon 2021 conference in beverly hills california you cannot
sue your way to the moon no matter how good your lawyers are musk has been mocking jeff bezos's
efforts to join the space race which have resulted in the aforementioned lawsuits on a regular basis
musk slammed bezos in august by joking about the real reason he stepped down as amazon's ceo
musk tweeted turns out bezos retired to pursue a full-time job filing lawsuits against spacex blue
origin has fought tooth and nail to be a part of the space agency's plans to send astronauts
to the moon's surface spending obscene amounts of money on lobbying efforts in washington dc
last month ceo and amazon founder jeff bezos went as far as to offer the space agency a 2 billion
discount spacex has been waging an information war online since the space agency chose spacex
as the sole winner of the contract a decision confirmed by the us government
accountability office this week after blue origin protested the decision starship in
blue origin's opinion is a clumsy dangerous and wasteful way to reach the lunar surface
the company also claimed in a statement that it would take more than 10 starship launches to get
a single one fully fueled to travel all the way to the moon something musk disagreed with if lobbying
and lawyers could get you to orbit bezos would be on pluto right now musk wrote in a follow-up tweet
nasa's ambitious artemis program aims to land humans on the moon for the first time since 1972.
the program began in 2017 under president donald trump combining elements of previous programs
that developed the space launch system and the orion human capsule under president george w
bush and barack obama prior to artemis the bush administration worked on the constellation program
which aimed to return humans to the moon while obama focused on the asteroid redirect mission as
the first step toward a trip to mars artemis has been largely preserved by the bight administration
three missions will be launched as part of the initial fleet artemis 1 is an uncrewed
mission to the moon designed to work out any technological kinks in the orion spacecraft
and space launch system the mission is expected to launch later this year no earlier than june
astronauts will return to the moon on artemis ii a crude mission that will stop short of landing
this mission will launch no earlier than may 2024 it won't orbit the moon instead it'll
swing around its far side before heading back to earth humans will set foot on the moon's shadowy
south pole in artemis 3 the final scheduled mission though astronaut selection has yet to
be announced the space agency wants a woman and a person of color to be a part of this mission
before sending a crew of two down to the surface in the starship hls vehicle the mission will
rendezvous with a space station known as the lunar gateway which has yet to be launched as a
result the space company's existing partnership with spacex is critical to the mission success
nelson watson morgan and the agency associate jim free associate administrator for exploration
systems development mission directorate all reiterated the agency's commitment to a mars
landing several times during the press conference everything the agency does with artemis according
to free is with mars in mind and nelson claims that the lessons learned from artemis will show
how humans will fare in deep space the plan to land humans on mars in the late 2030s or early
2040s based on the artemis program's architecture a mission to mars however will take six months
rather than a few days during which astronauts will be exposed to the dangers of space radiation
as well as the accelerated wear and tear of the human body in microgravity environment while the
international space station orbits a few hundred miles above earth the lunar gateway will be in
deep space away from earth's protective shield that shields astronauts from the harsher space
environment the biggest dream may become a reality soon thanks to the agency's largest ever rocket
for the first time on thursday march 17th the agency rolled out the space launch system rocket
which is still in development fully stacked with the orion spacecraft the demonstration took place
late in the evening at the kennedy space center in florida allowing fans to see the rocket in
all of its glory during the day and then bathe in the moonlight later this is the first time anyone
has seen the rocket fully stacked in the open air and it's a sight to behold the spacecraft
as a whole stands a hundred meters tall which is taller than the statue of liberty in a statement
the administrator bill nelson says humanity will soon embark in a new era of exploration from
this sacred and historical place commitment and capability to extend humanity's presence on the
moon and beyond will be demonstrated with artemis 1. the rocket will be used to launch some of the
most ambitious missions to date artemis 1 will be launched from this rocket at some point artemis 1
which is part of the artemis program which is the successor to the apollo missions is set to
launch this summer and will send an uncrewed orion spacecraft 40 000 miles past the moon to
demonstrate its capabilities if artemis 1 succeeds the following artemis 2 mission will send humans
around the moon in a spacecraft while artemis 3 will see humans return to the moon's surface for
the first time since 1972 artemis iii will also use spacex's mega rocket the starship this spicy
chitchat between jeff and elon is just not it jeff bezos the founder of amazon and blue origin is
reportedly investing millions in a mysterious anti-aging research startup in silicon valley
efforts that have already earned him scorn from fellow billionaire and space commentator elon musk
altos labs is a startup that is researching ways to reverse aging in human cells although this
type of work has shown some promise it is still in its infancy and if it doesn't work he'll sue the
living musk chastised bezos's litigious tendencies in a characteristically scathing tweet on tuesday
the feud between the world's two richest men has been simmering for months but
this is the first time musk has mock bezos for actions unrelated to space exploration
