Is NASA WRONG Why NASA still need Blue Origin's Moon lander

On November 18th, SpaceX's Starship completed its awe-inspiring test, considered a major leap forward in its attempt to reach orbit.

Following this success, the company will enter the preparation phase for Nasa's Artemis 3 mission scheduled in December 2025 including testing in-orbit refueling and operating the Starship lunar lander.

According to Nasa, SpaceX must complete at least 15 spacecraft launches. Thus, the space agency is also concerned that the amount of work needed to perfect the launch system and the high frequency of launches required for the program could delay the mission.

Perhaps, this prompted the space agency to find one more supplier, Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, to develop a backup lunar lander.

But is Nasa's action necessary?

2 year old video. SpaceX no longer has an exclusive contract. BlueMoon 1b has its own set of problems.

Didn't you get the memo?...   This has nothing to do with big butted Bimbos.
