Description

It's possible for the mobile lab to show "1.000 science" in the right-click menu, but still fail to transfer any science ("0 science gained", see screenshot).

This looks like just a simple issue of rounding the wrong way: the value should be truncated at the last decimal place rather than rounding to nearest.

Still present in 1.1.3. Can be easily reproduced by setting storedScience = 0.9999 on a mobile lab; the context menu shows "Science: 1.000/500", but clicking Transmit Science shows the error "Cannot transmit data: not enough useful findings".

So in other words, if you have less than 1.000 science, it shouldn't show that you have 1.000. It should round down always. This would be like saying the average family has 2.4 kids, but absolutely no family will have 2.4 kids.
