The problem is that they just might do something finely capitalistic with it, or do something finely capitalistic with its component elements, and thus embarrass and drive even more insane the ever-more-narrow between the ears fanatical mob of the Better World Utopia. When they couldn't stop it altogether, quite Machiavellian- / Orwellian-like they tyrannically planned this station to be an infinitely costly, crushingly strangling, choke point. A total government-only sinkhole like the 30+ year old -- never revolutionary evolved or even capable of evolving -- government-only shuttle. An INTENDED strangling government choke chain between Man and Space Age put up, rather than any capital-growth-producing multi-purpose [mass] terminal-port in orbit for Man's [en-masse] use in breaking out from a shrinking world into the frontier universe. (The Earth a womb-world now grown way too small and way too few (way too flat) in its dimensions for the ever growing needs and wants of a massively energetically advanced complex-dimensioned infant of life.)
