Bill Clinton had the choice of funding either ISS or the Texas Superconducting Super Collider. He picked ISS and cancelled TSSC. What would TSSC have discovered? Judging from CERN, perhaps not very much.

it accomplished looking, enhanced purification of piss and some deranged bitch almost killing whole crew. can't think of much more

It gave the shuttle something to do.

It's just a testing station for life in space. How to grow food in space or on mars. Everyone had "theories" no one Actually had tested before and done it. They did and refined it and fixed it. That's an easy one. 3d printing in space and on mars. All these little details they figured out. You'd need a giant list. Nothing really exciting but needed. Medical stuff, storage stuff, refining life support, etc.

It's funny how in the past 30 years, the scientific divide between the US and Europe grows wider and wider all because Europe chose particle physics while the US dicked around aboard a modular space station that revealed massive cracks in their planned "reusable shuttle" initiative and the wisdom of reusable rockets instead. US fails upward while the EU succeeds downward.

What successes of consequence has Europe had in particle physics?

That's my point. They've discovered some new particles, but for what gain?

russian modules are already falling apart, most of them got cancelled, and one actually waited two decades before it got to space in the first place

You do realize half the shit we did was to stabilize relations with the USSR right?

In the medium term, SpaceX is more likely to build a fuel depot, which might include a habitat module for maintenance reasons but probably wouldn't be permanently manned. If the government or some high risk entity wanted to pay SpaceX to build a space station, they might do it as long as it didn't take away capacity away from other long term plans. Musk complains constantly about the shortage of engineers and he's probably not doing so to get a bunch of H1Bs, so the complains likely are real, meaning anyone put on a space station project might be taking away from another project.

after the shitting and pissing fiasco caused by the female American astronaut that ruined the ISS and its space samples, nothing of value was achieved.

It convinced normies that space is real for long enough to develop photorealistic computer graphics, and to not question why we were able to visit the moon 50 years ago then lost the technology It was only ever about propping up the narrative to buy time.
