  Hi Sheldon,
  if you talk about value in money, the ISS has costed about 150 billion dollars.
  If you talk about what is worth to humanity, I think that is much more. I don’t think you can quantify in money the lives that have been improved or saved thanks to the new technologies and scientific discoveries that came from the ISS 😉

  As Sergio says the scientific value of the ISS is far beyond the monetary value 🙂
