yeah, that is the first set of solar arrays, they were simply being moved from their temporary construction position to the final permanent location. Also, as is there is plenty of power for the Columbus module, however they are evaluating for the JAXA module. Go to NASAspaceflight.com to get a better idea.

Nickel and dime'd to death? There's a lot of change in the ~5.5 billion budget they've been running for the past couple of years (http://www.nasa.gov/about/budget/index.html). Do you realize that 5.5bil is 5,500 millions???? How much fed taxes did you pay last year?
