Re: Rescue Mission?

The tank already has been made I understand, and yet there has been some
talk of flying one more mission if there are no more mishaps in order to get
some of the still stranded hardware up there.

Myself I doubt this will happen, more likely the left over stack will be
safed and put on show, probably in a dedicated building of some kind.

How would this work if it happens during the final Space Shuttle flight in
2010? Will an extra ET be built just for this scenario and another shuttle
prepped to be launched only as a rescue mission? If it never happens, all
that unused hardware including the external tank should probably be sent
to Johnson Space Center and displayed along with all the other unused
space hardware (Saturn V rocket, etc).
