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.

The International Trade Administration, under the United States Department of Commerce, has recommended levying a countervailing duty against wind energy equipment manufacturers from India. The recent steps are a stark reminder of Obama era fight in the World Trade Organisation between India and the United States to protect their local renewable energy industries. With the Joe Biden-led Democrats now in office, the US clean energy lobby appears to be back in action. According a notice by the Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration agency said, “The Department of Commerce preliminarily determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from India. The period of investigation is April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2020.”
