• Spare unit (think I heard serial no. 1005) was removed on STS-103 (SM-3A).  The new unit that wouldn't seat was I think serial no. 1007.

• Why is the spare less desirable?
  
  Is it that it is not a new build one but only a refurbished one?
  
  Will it potentially have a shorter life?

• Forgive my ignorance, but I even searched and checked the acronym list... what is the "COPE" container?  what does it stand for?

• Going for bottom right bolt - here we go!

•  Any chance they'll take the problem child inside to get a better look and possibly fix the bent guide or remove Story's old piece of bubblegum or whatever? Or would entering an unblessed, pressurized non clean room environment disqualify it?
