   As far as I know, Spacelab does "fill" the shuttle's cargo bay in one
important respect -- it uses up the vehicle's payload mass allowance.
Actually, while I've heard that Columbia/Spacelab will be heavy on
landing (the heaviest of any landing so far), it >may< have had
some unused lifting capability on launch. If so, it could have
lifted extra payload, so long as it left it in orbit...
