Abandon the space station?

Just how much science return do you expect to get from ISS? Down here on
Earth, most small science labs don't generate large returns. Given that the
ISS is a pretty small science lab, it's unreasonable to expect large,
publicity-generating science returns to come from it. It's the nature of
scientific research.
I expect a lab down on Earth that had a budget of $100 B would produce
an enormous amount of science.
The science that can be expected to come from ISS is, at best, pitiful.
