Blue Origin's lawsuit against the US government is being delayed for a week, partly because the DOJ had trouble converting documents into PDFs

•   Blue Origin's lawsuit against the US government and SpaceX has been delayed over PDF problems.

•   Department of Justice attorneys said the administrative record included more than 7GB of documents.

•   Uploading large batches "brings additional opportunity for the system to crash," DOJ lawyers said.

A federal judge on Friday granted a week-long extension in the lawsuit brought by Blue Origin against SpaceX and the US government.

This occurred, in part, because PDFs and other related documents were too large for the court system to handle.

More than 7GB of data were part of the administrative record in the case, the government said in a filing in US Court of Federal Claims on Friday. It said it would have to transfer the documents to DVDs instead of uploading them to the court's filing system.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin NASA Lawsuit Keeps Crashing DOJ Computers Due to Large File Size

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin NASA lawsuit against the contract of SpaceX and the lunar lander project keeps crashing computers of the Department of Justice, or shortly known as DOJ, due to the hefty file size of documents.

Roulette further shared a screenshot of the document from the DOJ, saying that the agency has "tried several different ways to create 50-megabyte files for more efficient filing."

However, doing so still crashed the Acrobat software.

The document also noted that the lawsuit "contains resource-intensive graphics and layouts," citing it as one of the issues that have ballooned its file size into more than seven gigabytes.

The document from the DOJ also noted that the staff of NASA that was supposed to fix the crashing and hanging issue of Acrobat were unavailable as they were at the 36th Annual Space Symposium during the incident.

With that, the DOJ lawyers were compelled to find a solution elsewhere--leading to the use of DVDs.
