OUT: AD ASTRA PER ASPERA. IN: AD ASTRA, PER LEX: Bezos Contract Fight May Delay American Return to Moon.

UPDATE: From the comments: “Jeff can’t even meet existing contractual obligations and deliver rocket engines to ULA on time.” Ouch. Harsh, but fair.

Also, a reader suggests it’s “Ad Astra Per Legem,” not “Per Lex,” which I think is right, although it’s been a long time since Mrs. Schwamm’s Latin class in high school.
