NASA recently awarded a contract to Elon Musk to build a mooon landing vehicle. Jeff Bezos has now offered NASA $2.1bn to be reconsidered as a second partner. While I am very happy that we are finally making strides to visit the moon and other planets again, this comes across to me as a bribe. Bezos knows that being involved in the NASA moon programme will be potentially very lucrative long term.
So... is this an altruistic offer or a bribe?
