Among the other considerations sought by Blue Origin were infrastructure improvements or other operational changes to mitigate the effects of Ss-SH that could need pause at other providers’ launch sites, and SpaceX or government indemnifying third parties for any losses caused by Ss-SH operations.

Blue Origin also called upon instituting mandatory penalties for SpaceX for conducting operations not included in an active EIS or for any other launch violations.

Musk Blows The Top: Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, a tech venture capitalist, reacted sharply to the comments. Tagging Bezos, he said on X, formerly Twitter, “Blue Origin with the ultimate loser crony note. Very anti-space economy, and decel. Reminiscent of retail trying to block the "impact" of e-commerce. Shameful.”

Musk joined the conversation and recalled the past rivalry between the two space companies. He noted that previously Blue Origin had sued to stop SpaceX from using what the latter currently uses as its primary launchpad at 39A. Also, the Bezos-led company tried to patent landing a rocket on a ship, even though that idea had been around for 70 years, he added.

In a separate post, the billionaire said, “Sue Origin,” making a pun on the Bezos-led company’s name.

Musk called Blue Origin’s response an “obviously disingenuous response” in yet another post. “Not cool of them to try (for the third time) to impede SpaceX's progress by lawfare,” he added.
