Devastating: the worst person you know made a great point

Yeah, the ISS is in a state of disrepair, and there's not much appetite for adding to it or continuing it in other space agency budgets. It seems like the time has come to look more at building out Lagrange point stations and/or lunar bases, and that feels right. The ISS has given us useful information about space habitation that we can use to launch the next generation of off world habitations instead of eternally mucking about in LEO.
