After a rescue mission that everyone hoped would not take place, later changed to a regular mission, which everyone hoped would take place, the Space Shuttle Atlantis was decommissioned for the second time. It had been officially written off earlier and was only supposed to serve as a deposit. Eventually, NASA realized that a mission with four astronauts on board would pay off after all, and Congress was convinced of this.
The astronauts will then gradually bring Soyuz ships from the ISS starting instead of a three-member crew with only a two-person crew. Money was found in the already tight NASA budget in an already quite indebted country and we could fly.
