There may be another choice than ISS Alpha, and that is the choice possibly
being offered by MirCorp. See
http://www.mirstation.com/pressrelease_4.html, which says "a private space
station by 2004". Maybe solar sails could be made using the AsterAnt magic
and Progress cargo re-supply spacecraft. So anyone with a "sure-fire" way
to make money in space can possibly test it on the governments sponsored ISS
or a private enterprise station. Maybe the competition would be good for
both. I feel sure that MirCorp would love to have more customers and make
more money.
