Will Bezos still have a chance to surpass musk

Share the news on September 11 with wechat scanning QR code to friends and circles of friends for many years, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have been arguing about the performance of their respective rockets and space companies. Disputes are heating up over who can use NASA's launch pad and who will first recover the landing rocket figure: rendering of SpaceX starship landing on the moon now, while competing for the title of "the world's richest man", the two billionaires are also launching an increasingly fierce competition. Their two huge business empires have clashed in courts, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and even Congress, making them one of the largest business competitors of the current generation initially, Musk's SpaceX and Bezos's blue origin competed for a major contract for NASA to send astronauts to the moon. Now, the competition also includes the establishment of Internet satellite services in space. Over time, the competition between the two has become increasingly fierce and expanded to the personal level in the past few years, SpaceX has been launching satellite chain satellites, and the number of these satellites may eventually reach tens of thousands, with the purpose of transmitting Internet signals to the earth. Amazon has a similar Kuiper program, but it has not launched any satellites On August 25, Amazon questioned the star chain modification plan application submitted by SpaceX to the FCC, saying that the latter violated FCC regulations. Six days later, SpaceX responded, publicly doubting Amazon's technical ability, accusing the company of trying to delay SpaceX's progress and buy time for its own projects. SpaceX said that Amazon's past record "fully shows that when it lags behind its competitors, it is very willing to use regulatory and legal procedures to set obstacles to avoid falling too far behind its competitors." last Wednesday, Amazon fought back and accused musk of publicly flouting laws and regulations again and again. Amazon said in the document submitted to the FCC: "the actions of SpaceX and other companies led by musk clearly show their view that the rules are made for others. Those who insist on or even just ask to abide by the rules deserve ridicule and personal attacks." SpaceX submitted its application again last Thursday. In a letter to the FCC, the company said: "another week later, Amazon raised objections to its competitors' plans, but the long rumored Amazon satellite system still shows no signs of progress." for decades, starting from the era of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller more than 100 years ago, American enterprises are based on the fierce competition among industry giants. Now musk and Bezos are writing a new chapter focusing on space competition. In recent years, this field has become one of the most exciting industries with great growth potential both Bezos and musk describe their space ambitions in the way of "helping mankind". For example, musk hopes to build a huge city on Mars, and Bezos envisages building a space colony in earth orbit. But Margaret O'Mara, a professor at the University of Washington, says there are also huge business opportunities in space. Omara is the author of the code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America, which tells the history of the era of science and technology she said: "musk and Bezos are not public servants, they are both businessmen. For these two billionaires, space represents their passion, but this field is also a fast-growing industry, and can make a lot of money from it." SpaceX and blue origin clearly realize that, In an era when Silicon Valley executives are often closely watched like Hollywood actors, their competition is being staged in real time through social media. Omara said that this competition makes musk and Bezos become "celebrity business leaders". Musk is especially good at "building a loyal fan base". He has nearly 60 million twitter fans and appeared on Saturday night live this year omara said: "this reflects that in our generation, a small group of super rich hold incredible power." establish a business empire in a similar way despite various differences, musk and Bezos have planned a similar path in establishing their own business Empire. Both of them have the extraordinary ability to subvert the whole industry with innovative products and the ability to insight into the future. They are unswervingly loyal to their beliefs, are not afraid of skeptics, and would rather bear short-term losses for long-term interests at PayPal, musk helped subvert the credit card industry and change the way American consumers buy goods and services. At Tesla, he conquered the entire automotive industry and revolutionized the electric vehicle market. SpaceX competes with U.S. defense contractors that have dominated space for decades, and has become NASA's preferred launch partner after founding Amazon, Bezos first subverted the traditional bookstore, and then all the retail industry, because he turned the company into a behemoth - "everything store". Amazon cloud computing service AWS has changed the way companies store data space triggered the second act of career war now, musk and Bezos have entered the second act of their career. They will be tied together in a series of businesses that may define their heritage. Bezos resigned as CEO of Amazon in July this year, but he is still the executive chairman of Amazon. At present, musk is far ahead in almost all fields SpaceX has delivered three groups of astronauts to the international space station, and plans to conduct the first pure commercial manned space launch on Tuesday, US local time, allowing four ordinary people to start a three-day trip around the earth. So far, blue origin has only launched a suborbital mission into space, and the duration is only about 10 minutes SpaceX has launched nearly 2000 satellite chain satellites into orbit, making the company close to completing Musk's most risky and daring adventure, that is, providing Internet services from space. Recently, musk wrote on twitter that SpaceX has shipped 100000 ground terminals for the star chain system, serving users in 14 countries. Last year, the FCC announced that it would report to spaceX provided $886 million in subsidies to help serve hundreds of thousands of customers in the United States although Amazon also has its own plans, including deploying satellites in earth orbit and transmitting the Internet to the ground. But it has not yet launched a satellite SpaceX hopes that FCC will approve its satellite chain modification plan, which aims to add about 30000 satellites under the two configurations. One configuration uses a starship to launch satellites, and the second configuration continues to be launched by Falcon 9 rocket Amazon argued that SpaceX must provide a single design for its system according to FCC regulations. The company believes that these two configurations "will deploy these satellites according to very different orbital parameters. The novel approach of SpaceX's application violates both FCC regulations and public policy." SpaceX said that Amazon is adopting "delaying tactics" and that this is "Amazon's continued efforts to obstruct competitors to make up for the failure of its own projects". On twitter, musk went further. He even misspelled the name of Bezos and wrote: "Bezos retired to take a full-time job, that is, file a lawsuit against SpaceX." Amazon's latest severe response targeted SpaceX and musk, pointing out a series of violations. Amazon believes that these violations highlight a behavior pattern and regulators should be vigilant

Amazon said that novel coronavirus pneumonia was launched by SpaceX without the approval of the FAA, and it was maintained by the local health officials in the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation. In the document, the company said: "in the script of SpaceX, there is no need to tangle with the rules, because these rules only apply to others." dispute over the contract of the lunar manned lander in addition to the battle over the satellite internet project, Bezos also launched a war through blue origin to compete for the contract that NASA has awarded SpaceX, The contract aims to build a spacecraft that will allow astronauts to travel to and from the lunar surface. Blue origin protested NASA's decision to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), which rejected the argument of blue origin and made a ruling in favor of NASA soon after, blue origin filed a lawsuit with the Federal Claims Court, arguing that NASA made a mistake in the ruling. The company also sent a document mocking SpaceX to the staff on Capitol Hill, joking that "what is musk afraid of, little competition?" Blue origin also revealed that NASA allowed SpaceX to give up many flight preparation reviews, that is, meetings designed to ensure the success of the mission. Megan Mitchell, the company's vice president for government relations, said in an interview that this means that SpaceX's proposal does not meet NASA's requirements. She added that this also raised "a considerable safety problem", especially because SpaceX needs multiple launches to fill up its orbiting spacecraft with enough propellant to help it go to the moon Amazon's strategy of winning contracts through litigation has had an impact. NASA was barred from contract related work during the Gao review of Amazon protests. While the federal court case continues, NASA also needs to stop working until November 1. This could further delay NASA's return to the moon program, which has seen rapid progress in recent years these lawsuits also angered SpaceX. In a memorandum to the staff on Capitol Hill, the company pointed out that blue origin "has not produced any rockets or spacecraft that can enter orbit". Musk even wrote on twitter that the company "can't put them into orbit." he also posted photos of the inflatable model of the blue origin lunar lander on Twitter and wrote, "somehow, it's not convincing!" in a statement in April, musk pointed out that the bid price for the blue origin lunar manned lander was $6 billion, More than twice the SpaceX bid. He added: "Bezos should be more involved in the operation of blue origin in order to ensure its success. Frankly, I hope he will do so." these struggles show that the company has replaced the country in the process of competing for space hegemony. SpaceX and blue origin are playing a role in the era of space hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. This competition drives NASA to send astronauts to the moon. But it also shows that the competition around space has begun to be as fierce as other industries, whether Coca Cola and Pepsi, Microsoft and apple John Logsdon, Honorary Professor of the Institute of space policy at George Washington University, said: "this reflects the trend that the space industry is changing from a special state to another state: where there is competition, there is competition from companies. This is like Colonel Sanders (founder) in KFC's advertisement As you said, it's none of their business for McDonald's to make chicken sandwiches. "(small)
