20 ... I’m not so sure the loss of the space station is such a bad thing. Its become a pacifier that prevents us from moving on. Losing it may be what is needed to help force NASA back onto their intended pathfinding and prospecting role. For that matter, private interests might like to have the space station for their own reasons.

I'm with you. The ISS has been manned for 16+ years. Strikes me that there isn't any more blood to squeeze out of this turnip. Just a big ol' UN goodwill tour now. I'm tired of paying cab fare to the Russians.

I think if the price is right, Space X and others would jump at the chance to use the station.
