What does the ESA plan to do with their Jules Verne vessel assuming
they man rate it (is that sexist?)? Is it just going to be a way for
Europeans to get to the ISS on their own? Or can they turn it into
something more than a space taxi, to fill in the gaps between the Space
Shuttle and Orion?

Is it becoming cheaper to just build and launch a whole new satellite
rather than repair an old one?
