Does Alan Boyle have a scoop?

SpaceX, Boeing and Sierra Nevada selected to receive money from NASA for future spaceships, NBC reports.

There were rumors that the announcement was delayed because the White House was unhappy with the selection. If true, many inferred from this that ATK was one of the winners. So if NBC has it right, that would imply that either the rumors weren’t true, or that NASA changed its mind as a result of White House unhappiness. In either event, ATK will be unhappy. As will its supporters in Congress.

It’s Alan Boyle. I think he’s probably got pretty solid stuff, which means that someone leaked.
