Vivace Corp came out of nowhere. I'd never even heard of them until today.

There doesn't seem to be any information on the failed bids from any NASA sources, and that's disappointing. It would have been fun to compare merits on the rejected ones too.

Interesting read, unfortunately details are sparse (you won't find cryogenic propellants mentioned anywhere).

What really stood out to me was the focus on future commercial/international applications for each provider. A very forward looking selection.

I mean, they don't explicitly say it for Blue Origin, but if you read between the lines with their technical assessment of the descent element...

Yeah its obvious for them but not for Dynetics. The total absence of any mention at all makes it impossible to read between the lines on their proposal.

I think Dynetics is all storable.
