![]() Because of this, the award should have fallen to Blue Origin “We always do flight readiness reviews! This argument makes no sense.” Elon Musk/Twitter 2. “Blue Origin and Dynetics did not get such a chance to compete with waived requirements the Agency afforded to SpaceX,” the filing states. The GAO pointed out, according to the filing, that Blue Origin had met these requirements. The suit points out that while the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ultimately ruled in NASA/SpaceX’s favor, the office mentions that SpaceX did not meet that requirement, stating: “NASA ignored its contemporaneous documents and argued to GAO that a FRR was not required prior to each launch element.” In other words, SpaceX’s initial proposal was unawardable.” It’s part of the core of the argument that SpaceX was allowed to bypass certain regulations: “The waiver of thirteen (13) Flight Readiness Reviews permitted SpaceX to propose a technical solution that included sixteen or more launches in a launch cadence the Contracting Officer admitted was logically inconsistent with the Solicitation’s requirement for one Flight Readiness Review prior to each launch. The term Flight Readiness Review comes up repeatedly in the filings. “Historically a staunch advocate for prioritizing safety, NASA inexplicably disregarded key flight safety requirements for only SpaceX, in order to select and make award to a SpaceX proposal that NASA’s evaluation team assessed as tremendously high risk and immensely complex, even before the waiver of safety requirements,” the filing says. But Blue Origin alleges what amounts to favoritism, claiming NASA allowed SpaceX to bypass some procedures. However, while the original plan called for two selections, congressional appropriations only gave enough funding for one - which ultimately went to SpaceX. That decision broke the mold of NASA’s successful commercial space programs by putting an end to meaningful competition for years to come.” In an open letter in July, Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos wrote: “Instead of investing in two competing lunar landers as originally intended, the Agency chose to confer a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar head start to SpaceX. Blue Origin believes NASA shut out competition Here are four essential facts gathered from Blue Origin’s complaint: 4. SpaceX was the lowest bidder, with Alan Boyle at GeekWire listing the respected proposal prices at $2.9 billion for SpaceX - $3 billion less than Blue Origin’s concept. Congressional appropriations cut the funding from two possible proposals to one. The suit stems from a bid for lunar lander concepts as part of NASA’s Artemis program, which will see humans return to the Moon. ![]() Oral arguments on the suit begin in October, and a ruling could come as soon as early October.

Marilyn monroe paparazzi photos6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Queen Elizabeth IIĮven before becoming the King of the United Kingdom, Charles III was sought out by English photographers as the heir apparent.īecoming the Prince of Wales in 1958, Prince Charles joined the House of Lords 12 years later. ![]() Though she died at the premature age of just 36, Marilyn continues to be a glamourous icon whose beauty stands the test of time. ![]() Looking for love in a series of failed marriages, Marilyn turned to alcohol and an array of drugs to alleviate her chronic anxiety and depression. Her wholesome beauty, girl-next-door sex appeal and curvaceous figure led her to find fame in no time and she began to be one of the most popular women in film and photos - something she wasn’t always mentally equipped to handle. This is when the camera first fell in love with Marilyn. Though some sources claim she was born with the last name Baker, Marilyn came from humble beginnings as Norma Jean Mortensen.īorn in Los Angeles in 1926, Norma Jean had an unhappy childhood marked by a mentally unstable mother and frequent moves to different foster homes.ĭetermined to escape her abusive first husband, Norma Jean dyed her hair its signature blonde color and adopted Marilyn Monroe as a stage name before beginning her career as an alluring, all-American pinup girl. Thankfully, the conservatorship was terminated, and Britney regained control of her life.įor that reason, as well as her past life as a pop star, Britney Spears continues to be one of the most photographed people of all time. The tabloids no longer focused on her red-carpet evening gowns - instead shifting focus to her unravelling personal life.īritney allegedly turned to various substances to cope, which appeared to lead to poor decision-making, multiple trips to rehab and one of the most infamous events of the era: conservatorship under her father. Unfortunately, what started as photographing Britney for positive publicity soon turned negative following a split from her second husband, Kevin Federline. OtsoNY will be revisiting the film, The Seven Year Itch this month to add additional film locations as well as some interesting facts about the film.One of the greatest American pop stars of all time, Britney Spears has managed to become one of the most photographed people on the planet thanks to family and legal drama with her father.īeginning her career on The Mickey Mouse Club and later becoming a pop star sensation, Britney was a gifted singer and dancer with a killer combination of beauty and charisma the public yearned to know more about. More recently, popstar Rita Ora posted a picture of herself on her Instagram standing on a subway-grate in New York with her silky silver skirt rising above her knee with the quote “So this happened”. Though she managed to maintain her composure in front of the on-looking photographers, the mishap was caught on camera for all to see. ![]() In 2014, actress Jessica Alba accidentally imitated Monroe when air from a subway grate blew her skirt up around her waist whilst the star was on her way to Whole Foods Market on 7th Avenue and West 24th Street in New York City. It's been over 60 years since the famous subway-grate moment on Lexington Avenue and East 52nd Street in the film "The Seven Year Itch", when Marilyn Monroe's character attempted to cool off by catching a gust of air from the subway updraft, “Ooh do you feel the breeze from the subway, isn’t it delicious” but even today some celebrities are still caught out with the Manhattan breeze, and normally at an inappropriate moment when the paparazzi are nearby taking photos.įilm: The Seven Year Itch featuring Marilyn Monroe ![]() F1 2017 cars6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() On the other hand, the last pressure group seems to have significant chances. Even this group seems unable to reach the finish line. The former kart driver’s adventure seems to be uphill due to his known connections with the Mazepins, who are banned from Formula 1 due to the Russo-Ukrainian crisis.Īlthough Oakes has denied the “ties” between HiTech and the sanctioned Russian company (Uralkali), doubts remain that the Federation and Liberty Media could take into consideration in the eventual regulated admission application, as specified in a procedural procedure published by the entity based in Paris. The last two conglomerates are HiTech, led by Oliver Oakes, and the one captained by an old acquaintance of open-wheel motorsport: Craig Pollock. Developments will be observed, but without high expectations as the initial interest seems to have diminished. The program has experienced several stops and subsequent reconfigurations, making the candidacy very weak. The first is Panthera Team Asia, led by Benjamin Durand, which has Arab funding.

Three other groups were reportedly organized to explore the Formula 1 option, as explaiend by F1 expert Diego Catalano for FUnoanalisitecnica. The business is enticing, and other potential teams would like to be part of it. The Andretti racing program is not the only one knocking on the doors of Formula 1, therefore. John McQuilliam, formerly of Manor Grand Prix, and Chester Jon Tomlinson are listed as Chief Designer and Head of Aerodynamics, respectively, of the aforementioned group. A key figure in the operation is former Renault technical director Nick Chester, who is recruiting talents that are converging in a technical department called Top Tier Motorsport, entrusted with the creation of a car for the year preceding the regulatory thaw. ![]() Mamp phpmyadmin web login6/29/2023 ![]() Currently supported for security fixes only.
