MS. STILSON: The next question is from Carol in Evansville. If perhaps the Space Shuttle Discovery did not launch on the 13th, how much of its supplies would have to be removed and then reloaded closer to its launch date? MR. HIGGINBOTHAM: Well, fortunately for us, the hardware we're flying up on this mission is pretty insensitive to the passage of time. In other words, it's not perishable. So right now, we're good for launch attempts all the way through any potential window we may have in September.
