The lack of budget has, according to Jeff Bezos, led Nasa to choose only one supplier, SpaceX, instead of two, as initially planned.

Blue Origin offers to sign a check for $ 2 billion to NASA so that it retains it as the second supplier, as part of the Artemis missions.

The first manned flight, which will mark the return of the United States to the Moon since the end of the Apollo program in 1972, is scheduled for 2024.
