Bezos offers NASA billions of dollars

Blue-Origin bezos

(WSIL) -- The race is on to get back to the moon.

Jeff Bezos is offering NASA $2 billion if his company, Blue Origin, is given a contract for a second human landing system or "HLS."

If granted, Bezos and Blue Origin would build a lunar lander to put astronauts on the moon once again.

In his proposal sent to NASA on Monday, Bezos said he will waive any payments for the next two fiscal years, up to $2 billion.

In the letter, Bezos says, quote "Unlike Apollo, our approach is designed to be sustainable and grow into permanent affordable lunar operations."

NASA awarded HLS contract to Tesla founder Elon Musk's Space-X company in April. Bezos is hoping for a second contract.

The Amazon founder launched the first crewed Blue Origin rocket into space earlier this month.
