I didn't like the whole concept of the ISS program when Regan first
proposed it. The program's been a huge waste of money, IMO. In fact, I
preferred Skylab since it provide more interior space for the
astronauts to have fun once in a while.

NASA's biggest mistake, IMO, was decommissioning the Saturn V which
would have enabled us to launch another Skylab which would have been
far cheaper than this thing. And the Saturn V in combination with the
space shuttle could have enabled us to do all sorts of incredible
things during the 80's and 90's including establishing a permanent
base on the moon and multiple space stations in Earth and lunar orbit.
