#2  ISS is a scam. It hasn't done any worthwhile science to speak of. It's hasn't improved cooperation between the US and Russia. It's coming down in 2031, unless it becomes another base closure white elephant. Which is all too likely.

Go somewhere. Or don't go. Don't sell "space stations" as stepping stone to the great beyond. They are not.
