I still think that things would get awfully crouded with more than three people in the current "Core Complete" ISS. Some sort of habitation module, even if its a stubby aluminum one, would seem to me to be a nessesitty.
I've don't think the Europeans + Russia have the money to do more than keep the core complete ISS up there and manned. The scale of their space program as a whole is not all that big, and rennovating ISS plus building Klipper-Onega/Zarya-Onega on top of adding their own Hab module is too tall of an order

Oh! And don't forget, even if ISS and Shuttle did work, there still isn't much science to be done up there.

Hey, no fair: Two (2) posts in succession! But your assertion reminds me of the U.S. Patent Office official who, around 1900, said they might as well close up the office because everything had be invented by then. Boy, was he (and now you) wrong!
