There's one very positive aspect to whole row over the unfunded habitation
module. We should press for the habitation module not to ever be built,
not by the US and not by Italy. Let's take this opportunity to stress
teleoperation instead. Have three people up there to do housekeeping, but
run all the experiments from the ground using teleoperation.
Teleoperation will be important for opening up the High Frontier. Let's
minimize the number of people on ISS.
A design for a telerobotic experiment station would be interesting. Somebody should start one under SOFA.
