Did all countries involved in building the ISS decide that or was it decided by NASA unilaterally?
Europe is similarly unwilling to invest in public endeavours. Every asshole and their beard wants "commercial solutions".
Commercial solutions end up costing more for high stakes and high cost space programs. They basically just made NASA a corporate subsidy for giant corps and parasitic billionaires. This push for commercial partners to do everything has already bitten them in the ass, but since all their greedy corpo buddies get lots of money, they'll just continue to run the agency in the ground until it does nothing. We're almost there, too, with Trump cuts out in full force.
Just remember, NASA was amazing until politicians started fucking it up. Politicians caused Challenger to explode, too.
