NASA and the DoD are now putting together a plan to erect
a space station that would serve as a midway fueling stop
for the space shuttle and satellites carried by it.  The
space shuttle could dock at the facility, which would be
built in stages and manned by four people with a possibility
of 12 in the future, and satellites in its bay could be fueled
for a trip into higher orbits or even space.  Satellites would
also return to the station for later return to Earth.
