We, the \nham community\nare going to need to do a polite dance around issues like roughness, etc.\n\nThe answer about refunding is that no one will. If we crab loudly \nenough, it will\nnot be possible to do more things like this. IF we paid full freight, \nthen yes we'd\nhave more of a 'right', but I'll bet that entities who have experiments \ndone have\nsome sort of clause in their agreement which indemnifies the ISS if \nthings go\nwrong. The effort for this can't be less than $500,000 if you totaled \nit up.\n\nSpace is still a very experimental workplace. ...How long did the \nvarious US\nastronauts train for Hubble missions?
