The ISS is nothing more than a zero gravity laboratory. It’s parked in a useless orbit allowing it to be accessed by as many countries as possible, but itself cannot access the rest of the solar system. It only has one window for viewing space. What we need is a base on the moon that could at least be used as a staging area for missions to the other planets and asteroids.

Strap some rockets to it and send it into orbit around the moon.

“Strap some rockets to it and send it into orbit around the moon.”

Ben Bova did better than that.
