It was fun to read about in a Jules Verne novel and a Tintin comic book. But it's not going to be a paying franchise. Forget about Space Lab; if anything, we should be resurrecting Sea Lab.
I'd like to see more probes to the remoter planets, with still better closeups of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn for instance, some of which might have life. And maybe, just maybe, it might be practicable to send one to the nearest star, which is about four light years away; eventually, like a century or two from now, we might actually get some hi-res closeup images and other data from it; and that would be fantastic.
P.S. - I think posterity will find that on one of the moons of a gas giant of Alpha Centauri, W.v. Gloeden, A. Ginsberg and J.H. Mackay are holding court with a coterie of comely acolytes. Civilization at last!
