        Interesting twist to the saga. Although honestly, is the ISS research really that valuable? I'm not sure we should be spending that much on it as it is. It's interesting but there are likely better places for our national research money.

          Basically, no. The research is useful, but the cost is outrageous. The private sector could do it much better.

            Exactly. Leave the ISS to the Russians. Let's just build our economy.

                    Not a big loss. I always forget the station is even still there.
