Anyone want a used space station?

High mileage, but not much real use.

I want to see who would actually want that much trouble, and not even
make a profit for taking the responsibility for it on their shoulders.

As part of the new republican & tea party spending and tax cutting.

NASA assets will be offered to private industry, ISS will be offered
to anyone who wants it.

Assets not sold or given away will be deorbited safely if possible or
turned off..

social security will be means tested and the earnigs cap removed,
wealthy recipents will see a initial 50% decrease in benefits.

Dont laugh its coming...........

What's the all-inclusive cost of ISS per hour? (please include all
terrestrial staffing, logistics and international agencies)

The joke on the taxpayers here is - if anyone wants it. The Shuttle was
supposed to bring cheap LEO operations - $10Million per launch with 2 week
turnaround, 50 launches per year. Ended up more like $650 Million per launch
at something like a 4 month turnaround. The space station and all it
promised break throughs justified keeping the shuttle flying. Then there
were all the great promises for the ISS. I can't get anyone to tell me one
great thing to come of all the money spent. And then comes Obama - keep this
waste going for another 10 years and add one more useless shuttle flight. In
other words keep wasting money and bring the US further into the third
world. Let's wake up and get a real manned space program going again instead
of wasting the next ten years fixing toilets in a tin can.

Of course, its coming. Two wars and a deindustrialized
nation pretty much seal the deal. Now for the next leg of
the recession were we can start calling it a depression.
The Fed is printing money so those concerned about
the rising debt seem rather removed from reality.
Then again what do I know?

All things end including nations..................Trig

Not much real benefit either, other than proving that billions of our
hard earned loot and decades can be wasted, not to mention
considerable global pollution from everything associated with keeping
that sucker up and running.

The earthshaking science is how to spend the most public loot, maximum
pollute our environment, kill off a few astronauts plus otherwise get
the least return on investment, and wasting precious decades all at
the same time.

Perhaps they can deorbit that spendy sucker so that it hits our
Pentagon that needs to get replaced anyway, or we can always use it as
our WMD threat in order to get China to forgive all the national debt
we've racked up.

There's an architectural critic in Pakistan or Afghanistan somewhere
who would be willing to do the job cheaper...

That's a summary of the science they did with fewer crew and while
assembling the station.

Information about more recent research.

Does it pay for the cost? Nope. But it's not non-existant, either.
