If there's anyone around to cover that briefing, I'd appreciate it, as I'll be AWOL around that time.
FRR has passed if NASA tweeting out the launch date is an indication.

"If Orbital is ready to launch in Dec. they will get the launch."
"We need a launch in Dec."
"We don't see SpaceX launch to ISS until Jan."
He never said "We need a launch in Dec." He said they're good until 2014 in terms of logistics and 2015 in terms of consumables.

Question about after ISS.
Talks about how Cygnus could be used for beyond-LEO cargo transport and how the Cygnus bus could carry a habitation module or ECLSS some other cargo for a Mission to eg Mars. Emphasized that Cygnus's bus is capable of very long-duration missions.
Very, very interesting, I was thinking about these sorts of ideas! I hope they release concept studies on these ideas.

If you misrepresent what is said, you shouldn't be offended if it is corrected.

No offence taken
Was my "best efforts" as no one else was doing it "live".

I just finished listening. It sounds like they are good with consumables, but they would have to cut back on the number of hours of science per week (currently at 43).
So the CRS program needs to keep a decent cadence, or the amount of research on the ISS suffers.

I didn't get that impression. The impression I got was that they are far ahead on consumables such that they wouldn't need to do any cutting back (and actually, how would the supply of consumables depend on how much science is done? No one has even HINTED about lowering the crew complement, that'd be an extreme measure.)
