If NASA wants to sell its interest, and Russia is reducing crews, the only
way forward is for private initiatives to take up the slack.

Bigelow modules launched on SpaceX Falcon Heavy rockets - docked with a
privatised Space Station - provide core capabilities.


What benefit does SpaceX or Bigelow get from docking to the current ISS?
They're far better off launching to their own station, in a better orbit,
with newer equipment.

The rest of Mook Math snipped.
