It's an Orbiting White Elephant.

Maybe. If it were purely a U.S. project I would be much more happy about it.

But, still, a lot of cool photos from the crews there...

Those are very cool photos. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that they are of negligible scientific value, just like everything else from the ISS.

To paraphrase JFK, we don't do these things because they're scientific, we do them because they're cool. Unfortunately, it's not Weinberg who needs to be reminded of this. It's NASA.

Someday we'll want to get real stuff done in space; then we'll send robots. For now, it's circuses, let's be honest.
