Kelly,

>Decontamination 'airlocks'?

Are you sure these can get rid of that last single celled organism? Are you
sure that a chemical shower, UV radiation and radioactive radiation can get
rid of all unwanted guests?

Anyhow I wasn't discussing contamination. I was merely making clear that
decontamination problems won't be solved by merely using shuttles.
In fact I'd think that the shuttles themselves have decontamination units,
so that the crew gets the possibility to wash themselves every now and then.
