Rocket Lab质疑NASA授权火星通信业务订单的公平性,准备提出抗议。如果Peter Beck是美国人,会不会更公平一点?
Peter Beck一直都喜欢一切关于火星探索的任务,他认为探索火星足以催生出一个诺贝尔奖。
之前看NASA前副局长Dava Newman的Ted演讲,她说火星在35亿年前,大概率存在过生命,起码有一段时间是适合碳基生命存在的,如果能找到更多相关的化石,我们就能知道火星以前发生过什么。大家有兴趣的去YouTube搜搜那个演讲,挺有意思的。

Rocket Lab has filed a formal protest with the Government Accountability Office challenging NASA’s award decision for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
NASA’s award decision appears to be inconsistent with the eligibility criteria mandated by Congress. In addition, the agency’s punitive review of Rocket Lab's technical volume was inconsistent, making incorrect assertions and conclusions.
Procurement standards exist to ensure fair competition and protect public investment. We are pursuing this review to ensure those standards are upheld for critical infrastructure that will underpin American exploration at Mars for decades to come.
