TMS temporary protections were removed

To allow ISI crews to start their test, we removed the temporary protection structures from TMS.

Since I didn't want to leave it without any protection, I slipped Genie with the TMS transport tooling under the telescope.

Telescope is still free hanging above the Genie, but note that the gap there is tiny. If you move Genie by 1mm, it WILL touch. Do never, ever move nor even touch Genie.

Now the TMS weight should be the same with in-vac. To clear some confusion: We will install another set of temporary protection just for cartridge insertion once ISI people are done. Once everything is in chamber, we will remove these temporary things, and permanent in-vac stops are installed to the chamber, not to the suspended part. Permanent things will add no weight to the suspended part.
