Of course, NASA probably could have done something similar in the late 1980s if only they had proposed a small space platform in 1984 rather than a monster Space Station. For example, the Marshall Space Flight Center's Science and Applications Space Platform from 1982 would have cost an estimated $500 million to develop. The manned version ... would have been slightly more expensive but still far cheaper than the (then-) $8-billion international space station eventually chosen by Reagan. But SASP would have been less controversial due to its lower cost, and several platforms could have been built for different missions -- including polar platforms, GEO and lunar orbit. 2, record 1, English, - science%20and%20applications%20space%20platform
