In the past, they have squeezed dollars from NASA when NASA had little choice. From documents I have seen, they have charged us more than they have charged tourists for soyuz flights
You have forgotten, that we have performed our obligations... The first eleven Soyuz flights were free-of-charge for the American astronauts... Therefore we are not obliged to do it free of charge, since 2006... The payment for flight is more, because training of the flight engineer is more complex, than of the tourist... Also flight longer and need of preparation of the backup...

Anik, If I have offended you, I sincerely apologize. I didn't mean to restart the cold war here. Just stating a few historical facts. One of my college degrees is in History...I just can't help myself..
Chris, If you want to delete my posts, please feel free to do so. This issue is moot if they rollback any way.
Meanwhile, it looks like I had better start getting prepared for a hurricane...latest forecast shows it coming almost overhead my house...
Cheers,
Larry
I was thinking is there a way to get Atlantis to use STS-116's launch date for a quicker way to launch?

STS-116/12A.1 is currently scheduled for launch on December 14. And that is the only launch date in December that has daylight during launch.
