I suppose it's remotely possible that they could try and keep SpaceX from spending NASA money on it, but it seems crazy unlikely they could make them stop work entirely since the overall goal is Mars.

SpaceX has been working on SS for years. HLS is just a side project. Bezos would be laughed out of court. It's worth noting that SpaceX is not an interested party in this case, the court has zero jurisdiction over anything not HLS. It's also worth noting that this is a "voluntary" stay by NASA, not a court order.
SpaceX also has multiple other contracts with NASA, including the development and testing of on-oribit fuel transfer. SpaceX has so many other things going on right now to get SS moving, that this will likely have zero impact on their part of HLS. It will however make great headlines for NASA to say "we were delayed by frivolous lawsuits" when Artmis doesn't launch in '24. It would also be funny as shit if SS has made orbit before the hearing. ![]()

The money they got from NASA was for milestones achieved already. They may get another check on November 1 for more milestones achieved. lol

Possibly the most surprising thing (for me anyway), is the complete silence from Elon. It feels like he goaded BO into this with his Twitter trolling, and is now sitting back and watching.

Gonna be hard for me to give any shits about what BO is up to until they stop emulating the shape of their rocket.

Pretty funny that the cargo in the capsule are "lunar landing material" or whatever she said.

That thing wobbles. The whole landing looks precarious.

Astra had another attempt yesterday, but it failed in amusing fashion.
Remarkably, it managed to right itself and actually made it through part of the mission, but they triggered the FTS system once it was unrecoverable. Still more exciting than a flying penis launch though. |
