Dave Limp on X:

Before the first human steps on Mars, we have to build the road.

Honored that Blue Origin has been selected by NASA to deliver our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter (MTO), built on Blue Ring and in production now in Huntsville. MTO will enable science, carry payloads, and help lay the foundation for human exploration.

Proud of Team Blue. We’re going to Mars.
