I think in 84 Reagan proposed a space station. Much grander than the one that is being built.

There is a great book called "Dragonfly" about the shuttle program, MIR, and the ISS....apparently, the current ISS was presented to congress and Bush I (I believe) to support funding for NASA....the original version of the space station was something much more grand (but its costs ballooned to an unfathomable figure).

"I think in 84 Reagan proposed a space station. Much grander than the one that is being built."

He also proposed putting a man on Mars. If it happened, he'd get credit (like JFK did,) and if it didn't no one (but me) would remember.
