	Can anyone tell me why NASA didn't have enough fuel for its MMUs.
It seems logical to have some spare nitrogen to refuel the things with, rather
than jeapordize the whole mission because they ran out of gas.  I can understand
running low on fuel for the manuvering (sp?) the shuttle, but for the backpacks?
If all they can do is move up a few hundred yards and come back, what good are
the MMUs.  Oh well, at least they got the thing down with the robot arm.
