Would you like to help put together a salvage consortium for the ISS, given that the Shuttle is grounded?

A private mission, originated in Australia, with US technical backing (that's you). Some insurance companies (that's the money) and Russian competence and "right stuff" (that's a given).

I'll act as principal, you can give tech support, and we'll make a killing. This is CATS in a BBBIIIGGG way.

A private rescue mission for those poor astronauts who can't get home any other way, and then, we'll reboost their space station and save it from the danger of running aground.

After this, NASA will learn what "Hot Backup" really means - a wholly independent ability to replace functionality, at zero notice.

The only downside is, we end up in charge of ISS...
