The installation means that a third spacewalk to finish the job is no longer needed.

Do we have the capability to bring back the broken unit and then return it to ISS following examination & repair? Although the unit is quite large, perhaps SpaceX’s Dragon could accommodate it.
would take 20 minutes on the ground, space complicates things a little! Merry Christmas Robert, just purchased Genesis, looking forward to read it, thanks, Joe.
Thank you for the purchase. I hope you like it.
