...so every remaining flight will, of necessity, be to the ISS. No wonder they defunded the Hubble.

Hmmm, I wonder whether NASA has enough Shuttles to do just that.
Wait a second...didn't they recently announce one of the remaining Shuttles was permanently grounded? Yup, sure did!
I wonder if any of the rocket scientists at NASA has yet to figure out that they could make Atlantis a permanent "rescue" Shuttle, keeping it at a high level of readiness for a one-time mission, rather than letting it become a permanent spare parts warehouse?

Rotsa Ruck with that, NASA. They have been K-Balling the offline orbiters for parts to make the scheduled one flyable. I don't think NASA has enough spare parts to make two flyable simultaneously.
