      ESA has announced a call for tenders to examine the feasibility of a European-led space station initiative as it prepares for the retirement of the ISS.

      This is good news. I don’t see the commercialization of space as a good thing unlike the views of the current NASA Administrator.

      Europe has never built a space capsule and was 3rd  partner in ISS construction. ESA also has a third of NASA budget and lacks cheap commercial launch vehicles.  

      A LEO space station would siphon away the budget without providing much value.
