lets not forget the bush adminstrations public comment, we wouldnt be
upset if shuttle never flies again.

or that public discussion of cutting shuttle to 2 flights max per year,
about 12 tops, mostly resupply of essential supplies,

Actually, in that case the remaining flights would launch the

Columbus, etc.)

Resupply and crew exchange would be offloaded from Shuttle.
