Jeff Bezos Offers NASA $2bn In Exchange For Moon Contract For Blue Origin To Land Astronauts In Space https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/07/jeff-bezos-offers-nasa-2bn-in-exchange-for-moon-contract-for-blue-origin-to-land-astronauts-in-space https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/07/jeff-bezos-offers-nasa-2bn-in-exchange-for-moon-contract-for-blue-origin-to-land-astronauts-in-space#respond Fri, 30 Jul 2021 05:22:41 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/07/jeff-bezos-offers-nasa-2bn-in-exchange-for-moon-contract-for-blue-origin-to-land-astronauts-in-space

First of all the title is highly misleading and directly contradicted by the article itself and the actual letter. (He’s not ‘offering’ NASA money he’s voluntarily forgoing payment equal to the SpaceX award for the contract. Now considering the initial pricing was closer to 10 billion that would essentially mean that NASA would be on the hook for about 8 billion but considering the total SpaceX contract is also about 10 billion that still fits into the new Congressional budget, if barely) Secondly considering that Blue Origin is only one of the companies that are cooperating to this bid if the other companies do no agree they he actually WILL be paying those companies to participate. Thirdly while the overall concept was rejected it pays to keep in mind it was ONLY rejected for the price and some questions on the proposed engine development budget so this goes a long way to show they are putting more ‘skin’ in the game than SpaceX. So interesting but highly disappointing ‘take’ on the offer by VT.


Jeff Bezos has offered NASA $2 billion in exchange for a moon contract that will allow Blue Origin to land astronauts in space. The Amazon founder, 57, made history when he went to space last week, and now in an open letter to administrator Bill Nelson on July 26, he…

The Kerbal Effect https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/the-kerbal-effect https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/the-kerbal-effect#respond Sat, 26 Jun 2021 22:23:05 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/the-kerbal-effect

Kerbal Space Program has now been out for a full 10 years, progressing alongside the space industry and the various people that operate within it. This documentary-style video takes a look at the people that have been influenced, inspired, and introduced to the wonder of space exploration by this bizarre game about little green beings, created by a small group of developers in Mexico City.

We want to thank you, the community, for helping us turn KSP into the launchpad for the next generation of space explorers!

Venusian Acid-Cooked Turkeys, or Why I Still Read Blog Comments… https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/venusian-acid-cooked-turkeys-or-why-i-still-read-blog-comments https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/venusian-acid-cooked-turkeys-or-why-i-still-read-blog-comments#respond Thu, 03 Jun 2021 04:22:30 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/venusian-acid-cooked-turkeys-or-why-i-still-read-blog-comments

A bit early, (or a lot late 🙂) but I love this post. Beverage warnings apply:


In a world where many blogs and websites are shutting down comment threads, I think we all need the occasional reminder of why we permit comments. Sure, you often learn something new from other people’s inputs, and sometimes get corrected when you step beyond the limits of your actual knowledge-base too far. But sometimes you read a comment that’s so brilliant, you just have to look up the commenter’s email, and beg them for permission to repost their work of art. This was one of those times.

Angry is back with another episode — this one tackling Jeff Bezos’ claims that Everest would be a better place to live than Mars.

And, in typical Angry fashion, he didn’t bother checking any facts before he released his video to the public.

Turns out, Angry needs some Common Sense to get his facts straight. Again!

DEBUNK ANGRY VS BEZOS — Pt 1 https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/05/debunk-angry-vs-bezos-pt-1 https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/05/debunk-angry-vs-bezos-pt-1#respond Fri, 28 May 2021 02:22:45 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/05/debunk-angry-vs-bezos-pt-1

Let me start off by answering “Angry Astronaut’s” last question (@22:00 in) first: “Does this look like living at the top of Mount Everest to you?” Yes Angry it does. It ALSO looks like living on Mars because that interior in both cases is where you’re going to spend a lot of time so what’s happening on the INSIDE isn’t very different at all. That’s a problem (and an opportunity) for a LOT of the so-called “easy” concepts for living on Mars here people: Why don’t you put some money where your mouths are and “PROVE it” at least a little bit. Think the “Marsha” design is so hot? (I don’t btw) Then how about we BUILD some actual working “prototypes” (which the company did an indigogo on and failed to either raise enough money nor have they gone any further with the effort) someplace LIKE the ‘basecamp’ area of Everest. It will be vastly less difficult and expensive than building on Mars or the Moon but you know what, it would go a long way towards shutting up the ‘detractors’ with all their (arguably and often unanswered) questions wouldn’t it? Build on as a B&B on some expensive vacation land? Nah, how about building one out at the Mars Desert Research Station or Devon Island?
