The U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled against Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin on Thursday in the company's lawsuit versus NASA over a lucrative astronaut lunar lander contract awarded to Elon Musk's SpaceX earlier this year.

SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment on the ruling.

Musk, in a tweet replying to CNBC's report on the ruling, posted a photo from the 2012 movie "Dredd."

Bezos personally added in a tweet that the ruling was 'not the decision we wanted,' but noted that "we respect the court's judgment" – implying that his company will not appeal the decision further.
