Amazon's Jeff Bezos loses Nasa launch pad protest
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25364172
A space company run by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has lost a protest over Nasa's plans to lease out a launch pad.

Blue Origin protested to the US Government Accountability Office about the process Nasa uses to decide which companies can use the launch pad, either exclusively or sharing it.

The GAO rejected the protest and said Nasa had not shown a preference for one approach over another.

Blue Origin has not commented on the ruling.

Nasa is hoping to lease out Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which has not been used since the US shuttle fleet was retired in 2011. It was the launch pad from which Apollo 11 lifted off for the first manned Moon landing.

A spokesman for Nasa said: "Given today's GAO ruling, Nasa is looking forward in the near future to selecting an industry partner for negotiations to lease and operate the launch pad."
'Open to sharing'

Another company, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla Motors, is also bidding to use the facility.

SpaceX had originally wanted to use the site exclusively but later said it was open to sharing the site. Blue Origin's plans were to share the site.
