And FWIW, the Blue Origin lander is way less risky. It requires far fewer launches, is a generally much more well thought out design, and will be tested with a sub scale version first, unlike Starship.
If they hadn't had a New Glenn detonate on the pad, they'd already have a test lander on the Moon by now.
