By smelting synthetic Moon dust, Blue Origin created solar cells

Whether or whether Blue Origin’s innovation reaches NASA is another story, given the business has a checkered relationship with the US government. Although NASA is supporting the Orbital Reef space station and will utilise New Glenn to launch a Mars scientific mission, it lost a critical lunar lander contract to SpaceX and lost its challenge to the $2.9 billion transaction. Blue Alchemy technology, no matter how innovative, is not guaranteed to gain business.
