This gives the blue origin led by Jeff Bezos a new opportunity to develop the lunar lander < p > last year, Elon Musk's SpaceX defeated blue origin and won the contract to build the first lunar lander for NASA. Blue origin resented this and wanted NASA to add another supplier. Bezos even offered to pay $2 billion for the project. Blue origin also lobbied members of Congress to call for the introduction of competition in the project < p > NASA's decision on Tuesday will allow another company to win the contract to develop the lunar lander. NASA Director Bill Nelson did not disclose how much money would be invested in the project, but said that US President Biden would announce the budget next week. Nelson said he believed the US Congress would support it < p > NASA initially planned to award two contracts for building the lunar lander, but only one contract was awarded to SpaceX due to financial problems. At that time, SpaceX offered $2.9 billion and blue origin offered $6 billion < p > when NASA awarded the SpaceX contract, Nelson had not yet taken office as NASA director. But he later said he would find a way to fund a second lunar lander < p > "we believe that the US Congress also believes that competition will bring better and more reliable results," Nelson said on Tuesday. "Everyone benefits, and it's good for NASA... I promised to compete. That's it." < p > according to the contract signed last year, SpaceX will test the interstellar spacecraft and then send astronauts to the lunar surface.
