In his letter to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, Bezos said the offer would "connect the subsidizing deficit" that prompted the space organization to pick only one worker for hire, rather than two which would then rival one another.
He added, "this offer isn't a deferral, however is an altogether perpetual waiver."
Since losing the honor, Blue Origin has been wildly campaigning to have the choice switched, driving the Senate to pass a bill consenting to add $10 billion to the human lander framework.
In any case, the enactment is as yet being bantered in the House and has been marked a "Bezos Bailout" by pundits.
Bezos composed that a benefit of Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander was its utilization of fluid hydrogen for fuel, which can be mined from lunar ice in accordance with NASA's arrangements to utilize the Moon to refuel rockets for activities more profound into the close planetary system.
He added that the organization would test its lander in a circle around the Earth at its own expense.
"We stand prepared to help NASA moderate its specialized dangers and address its budgetary imperatives and put the Artemis Program back on a more cutthroat, tenable, and feasible way," Bezos closed.
It is hazy whether Bezos' extremely late intercession will influence the result of the honor.
