@jacksons1010 the Blue Origin design keeps changing over the years since the first blow up model was put on stage, showing that Jeff really had no design at the time, it was just the idea of doing something like the old moon landers again, and when actual engineers got involved it totally changed. Meantime, SpaceX is actively building and testing their design, and will probably be able to get to orbit this year (if the environmental report is quick), while Blue Origin doesn't even have a factory built for their design. SpaceX is building theirs anyway, so the lawsuit isn't likely to slow them down much, so there is very little doubt that SpaceX will be the first to be ready to go to the moon in any case.

I am sure the fact that most of the maintenance has to be done on the ISS, with parts and suits launched and returned, adds just a bit to that cost.

@brokensoap1717 Starliner is on the launch pad ready to launch! Oh wait, this just in... Never mind, more problems, back to the factory, again! Do we think Boeing will have less problems with SLS at the last minute? Lol

The two things not mentioned here are the OpEd by the private space suit company, can't think of the name, saying that the NASA suit is based on their design, and they are ready and able to manufacture the suits in time, for much less. Also that SpaceX is getting involved and may design a suit. They probably were going to anyway, so may have already been working on it.
