   So how many years of storage do we gain by cancelling all instruments?   
   How much do we save if we remove the hi gain antenna or all antennas?   
   If we remove all antennas then do we get to prolong SLS by requiring a   
   2nd mission to retrieve the data from the first? Sounds like the way to   
   go...
