Note that this is just a "study contract" not a "sample return contract". Still cool though!

Fingers crossed that they get the real contract. I love this proposal and think they could actually pull it off. I have way less trust in a company like Blue Origin stringing together a bunch of subcontractors to do it.

I was pretty impressed when I heard this news.

Good work RocketLab
