Senators John Thune, R-S.D., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office on Thursday to launch a review of the Emergency Broadband Benefit program to ensure its success.

Elon Musk Takes To Roasting Jeff Bezos As Latter s Blue Origin Protests NASA s $2.9B Contract To SpaceX Benzinga 2 hrs ago Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has poked fun at Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos after the latter’s space exploration company Blue Origin protested NASA’s award of a $2.9 billion contract to SpaceX. What Happened: The New York Times reported that Blue Origin filed a protest with the U.S. Government Accountability Office on Monday, challenging NASA’s award of a lunar lander contract to Musk’s SpaceX earlier this month. Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith said in an interview with the New York Times that NASA’s decision was flawed as it misjudged advantages of Blue Origin’s proposal and downplayed the technical challenges related to SpaceX. He also said NASA had placed a bigger emphasis on bottom-line cost than it said it would.

Why It Matters: NASA said earlier this month it has awarded the $2.9 billion contract to SpaceX to develop a commercial human lander that will safely carry the next two American astronauts to the moon. NASA is returning to lunar exploration with the Artemis program, which plans to send four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. SpaceX was the sole winner in the competition, beating Blue Origin and Leidos Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LDOS)-owned defense contractor Dynetics of Huntsville, Alabama. NASA was previously expected to choose two of the three teams to competitively build lunar landers. Nevertheless, the longstanding feud between Musk and Bezos, especially as it relates to their competing rocket companies, is well known. Both the billionaires are in a race to make space travel more affordable.
