Better yet, why not get back the billions spent on the ISS? I don't see much accomplished by spending all those years in LEO doing not much more than proving that they can spend all those years in LEO-- not enough of anything to justify the vast amount of money poured into it, at least. Get those billions back, and use the money to construct robot planetary (or asteroidal) probes-- where the REAL science and REAL triumphs come from NASA. Don't send a man to do a robot's job.
