Sierra Nevada Corp. protests NASA space contract

Posted: at 4:46 am

Sierra Nevada Corp. filed a protest of a major NASA contract late Friday, saying its proposal to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station would save money and should be given further consideration.

This month, NASA awarded contracts to Boeing and SpaceX under what is called the commercial crew program, which would allow the United States, for the first time since the space shuttle was retired three years ago, to launch astronauts into space from U.S. soil.

The contract would end the United Statess reliance on Russia, which charges more than $70million a seat for trips to the space station aboard its Soyuz craft.

Boeings contract is worth up to $4.2billion; SpaceX, which said it could perform the work for far less, was awarded a contract valued at $2.6billion.

In announcing its protest in a statement, Sierra Nevada noted that it had never filed a legal challenge to a government contract award in its 51-year history.

The Nevada-based company said it was compelled to file a protest with the Government Accountability Office because of serious questions and inconsistencies in the source selection process. Sierra Nevadas proposal was the second-lowest-priced, the company said, while it achieved mission suitability scores comparable to the other two proposals.

The award by NASA would mean the U.S. government would spend up to $900million more at the publicly announced contracted level for a space program equivalent to the program that [Sierra Nevada] proposed, the statement said.

Unlike SpaceX and Boeing, which would use capsules to dock to the space station, Sierra Nevada proposes using a reusable miniature shuttle, or space plane, called the Dream Chaser. The craft provides a wider range of capabilities and value, the statement said.

A NASA spokeswoman declined to comment.

GMO labeling measure in Colorado triggers heated debate

With the Nov. 4 ballot measure, Colorado is at the forefront of a fierce food fight raging across the nation: whether or not to label foods made with genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, so consumers can easily see if the food they buy is a product of genetic engineering.

Similar ballot initiatives failed in California and Washington in the past two years.

This spring, Vermont became the first state to approve GMO labeling. But then a group of national organizations led by the Grocery Manufacturers Association filed a lawsuit in federal court that challenges the new law. This could be the first of many lawsuits to block mandatory GMO labeling, experts say, and now Colorado jumps into the high-stakes debate.

"It will be a hot issue for quite a while in this state," said Katie Abrams, an assistant professor at Colorado State University who researches consumer understanding of food labels. "And it's going on in more places than just Colorado."

GMO labeling will also be on the ballot in Oregon, and this year about 35 similar bills were introduced in 20 states.

If the measure passes in Colorado, by 2016 packaged or raw foods made with GMOs that are sold in retail outlets must be labeled with the phrase "produced with genetic engineering." Exemptions include processed food intended for immediate human consumption, like at restaurants and delis.

Most processed food sold in America today, from beverages to baby food, include GMO ingredients such as corn syrup, corn oil, soy meal and sugar.

More than 90 percent of Americans believe the federal government should require GMO labels, according to an ABC News poll.
