Nearly a month after Blue Origin blasted off and returned its boss Jeff Bezos from space, the company is making ripples again as it sued the US government over a contract awarded to SpaceX. The litigation is against NASA's decision to award a $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to Elon Musk-led SpaceX.

The lawsuit "challenges Nasa's unlawful and improper evaluation of proposals submitted under the HLS Option A BAA," Blue Origin said in the motion to seal filings.
