ECLSS

The 4th generation stations should then be located spirally: LLO; L1 "Nearside"; L2 "Farside"; ESL2 "Nightside"; ... by which time the ECLSS hardware will be robust enough for moble stations (deep space vessels) that visit NEOs and become an outpost on Phobos.

Greater distance (and hence less potential for rescue), extended stays in low gravity (as opposed to microgravity), exposure to dust, development and use of surface hardware (habitats, spacesuits, airlocks, shielding, ISRU and ECLSS equipment, surface vehicles) will build the needed skills and knowledge we need to take on more ambitious goals in the Solar System.

I personally like the idea of the govt focusing its limited resources on pushing the key leveraging technologies that will enable long-term, far-ranging operations in space: nuclear propulsion & power, aerobraking, ISRU, tethers, closed-loop ECLSS, etc.
