United Launch Alliance (ULA), a company that previously dominated Pentagon rocket launches before the emergence of Elon Musk's SpaceX, is potentially changing ownership. Blue Origin, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, and private equity firm Cerberus have submitted bids to acquire ULA. The Wall Street Journal reported on this development, confirming earlier reporting that the sale of ULA is near. In addition to Blue Origin and Cerberus, Textron, another company not previously named, is also a bidder in the sale. The competition among billionaires to own a SpaceX rival intensifies as the rocket race heats up.
