Yeah, well. The point was that if the module had initially been designed
to being launched on Ariane in the first place, changing it back to this
would have been a bit simpler. If not, you'd be better off building a
new module from scratch, no doubt.

Worse - you have to DESIGN it first. And that part is expensive and
very, very time-consuming. Fabrication is rather anti-climactic after
all the drama of design, re-design, PDR, CDR, and qual.
