+I'm not sure that contingency EVA requires a "re-usable manned
+spacecraft with long stay EVA capability (including robot arm)".  As
+long as the Earth Station maintains integrity, the astronauts should
+be able to run EVAs out of it.  Of course, if it doesn't, then they
+*are* in deep trouble.

trying to cover the contingecy of the Earth Station failing to
