  1. I think the ISS should be expanded, using modified resupply vessels HTVs ATVs etc. Make a space hotel. NASA through UNOOSA, should share technology and allow nations that don’t have space programs, like Australia to build cheap transport to the ISS as India has done.

    America should engage actively with the European Union to build the Lunar Village, and then move as much industry off the earth as possible cleaning up space junk as you go.

    Start aiming for the nearest stars with interstellar missions. Continue with the Voyager and new horizons mission series exploring the Kuiper belt and beyond.
