That space station is nothing more than a exorbitantly overpriced silver sausage tube used by over paid engineers as an excuse to float around in their laytex pajama's together.

As originally proposed, the station was to be a valuable research facility and testing ground for missions to Mars. However, NASA and the government chose to forgo any commercialization and also turned it into an international WPA, among other things.
