I like the bold originality of the mission: "the new space station
would be used to produce materials that are impossible to manufacture
on Earth and to improve the methods of remote monitoring of the
Earth."

Remote monitoring can be better done unmanned; materials processing can be
done on ISS.

This is a fairly obvious bluff; their rationale is transparently bogus.
