This is a key flight. With the equipment the shuttle is taking up to the ISS, they'll be able to support 6 astronauts at a time in the station by next year. This will allow for much greater manpower dedicated to research. Right now, with three crewmen at a time, most of the manpower is dedicated to routine maintenance and keeping the station running...Not much return on investment that way....
