Processing Lab in 1.3 - can't take data?

[kurja]

I was under the impression that you could process an experiment in the lab module for "data" that can then be researched for science points, but that the experiment itself (thermometer reading, surface sample, eva report, whatever) could then still be taken and returned to Kerbin or transmitted. At least I think that's how it worked in earlier versions? But that does not seem to be the case. Once an experiment is processed to get data for research, I can no longer remove it from the Lab module.

Is there a way to take the experiment for recovery or it it lost forever once processed?

If not, what does this imply game-play-wise - it will take a long time to get the precious science points from the lab for what is apparently a small gain, not worth the hassle?

Do each experiment twice.  Or in the case of partial return experiments (Mystery Goo and Science Jr) do them an extra time for the lab.  Store extras in pods or passenger modules or bring a science container along for each repeat.  Scientists are, obviously, helpful for resetting the Goos and Jrs so you don't have to carry extras science modules.

Feed one completed experiment of each into the lab and the rest go to Kerbin or get transmitted as is.  You can collect the science for the experiments and the data processing from the lab for each experiment in each biome/situation.

You need to get two copies if you want both a lab entry and return science. That's not new, but I don't know what version it was implemented in.

Well, shoot. My experiments are now lost in the MPL and I'm not going to go 'round and gather everything for a second time, so I guess I'll just leave Bob in orbit until he gets me teh science points from that data.

This new behavior of the MPL actually seems much more plausible.

Everything that hasn't been processed into data yet can be removed from the MPL and returned to Kerbin for immediate credit, just like before, of course.
