Volunteerism vs. Rewards for Space Settlement (Was R

giorgio,

Welcome to the choir. If you're expecting someone in this group to put
up a *vigorous* defense of ISS you may have to wait a long while.

ISS did add some knowledge to our space encyclopedia, but it was
nowhere near efficient in terms of cost/benefit. It had no space
mandate, though it did serve some purpose, I suppose, in the
international political arena.

ISS = all around bad news white elephant.

If you want to use ISS as a basis for criticizing The High Frontier,
then I think you really need to establish a basis for why such a
comparison should be considered valid.
