Musk spanks Bezos
Post Body

Not literally...

This news is a few days old and I didn't see it until tonight

http://www.nbcnews.com/science/spacex-wins-nasas-nod-take-over-historic-launch-pad-39a-2D11741834

"Elon Musk's SpaceX has won out over Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin to take over Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where Apollo moonshots and the first and the last space shuttle missions were launched."

but it sounds like Blue Origins (Bezos company) may be welcome:

"As previously stated, SpaceX will gladly accommodate other commercial providers interested in using Launch Complex 39A for NASA human-rated orbital spaceflight," Post said.

I wonder why they stressed human-rated - perhaps Blue Origins is further off from human flights.

I've also been curious if the recent China moon mission would motivate some in the US to hire Musk to get humans back to the moon (and beyond)
