It's not a perfect solution, of course. Working out a way to send up
replacement CMGs would be a priority.

And you'll have to send replacements more frequently, since you'll have no
real idea why they keep failing if you can't bring the failed ones back to
the ground intact.

This is all just SO encouraging when we're talking about going to the
Moon and Mars. "We want to build a moon base, but don't ask us to keep
a CMG working or go up 300 miles to Hubble, it's too hard..."

Maybe we should just pull the plug on NASA now.
