How much does it cost to keep it up there an additional day?

It's not just keeping it up there - it's supplies to keep it up there; food,
water, air and electricity (the latter generated by fuel cells). There are
limits on all of these.


I'm guessing all of that is taken into account when deciding how long
a landing can be postponed, but I was wondering what the dollar value
of another day in space would be.

If you had 4 extra days in supplies, could you keep the shuttle aloft
for 4 days and spend less than 2 million?

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
