Keith’s note: Now that NASA has been told to cancel Gateway what happens to all its pieces? Social media is full of speculation: Halo as a Mars lifeboat; PPE as part of a lunar or Mars relay; building some portion of Gateway and sending it to Mars as part of a sprint human effort. And what happens to all the international partners who trusted America and threw in billions to build parts – and the whole Artemis Accords thing? Did anyone put any reasons or strategic thought into this?

Use them to repair and upgrade the ISS? Reverse course and build Gateway anyway? Auction it?
I cannot fathom a strategy aside from a malign desire to utterly sabotage the American civilian space program. Quite clearly a desire to put resources into a modernized SDI and expand the Space Force is more of a priority, hence the seemingly strange desire to make Greenland one of several new states of the United States.
