I think what the article is about is that the Rotating Service Structure is being dismantled. I saw something about it a couple of weeks ago on Space.com. 39-B is being prepped for the odd chance that it will be used for a lunar program or manned asteroid landing flight.
Still, it is so sad that the manned spaceflight program we once knew and were proud of is ending. It’s still 6 days till the elections. I hope the employees, both current, former, and soon-to-be former, will remember this when they enter the voting booth. Obama and the dimoCRACKS must be made to pay a price for what they have done to the space program.
Former president Bush set the wheels in motion to permanently ground the shuttle but he also proposed the return to the moon by US astronauts. THE 1 has cancelled the moon landings. That’s what separates him from Bush.

Especially since we still have astronauts manning (or woman-ing) the space station...
I personally find it completely unacceptable that we'll be "hitching rides" with the Russians for the next several years, and paying them very dearly for the "taxi fare" to get there, too!
Last quote, and imperative to repeat/remind:
"It’s still 6 days till the elections...
Time for some real "hope and change"...STOP the dumbing-down of America!
JMHO, of course... ;)
