What Happens To The ISS Human Research That NASA Won't Finish?

Look at all of the human health research that @NASA will NOT have completed on ISS (after several decades of work) when they pull the plug on funding ISS in 2024. pic.twitter.com/lGQQSMZVB3

Oddly while these human research priorities still need to be done before the whole #JourneyToMars thing starts up again the LOP-G/Gateway will be far LESS capable of addressing this research than ISS. Yet somehow @NASA is going to make these issues go away or maybe change color pic.twitter.com/HH4QeDuwfD

Keith's note: After decades of selling the ISS as necessary for the human exploration of space NASA now seems ready to walk away from ISS before all of that critical human biomedical and risk reduction research is complete when funding for ISS stops in 2024. Where will that research be done? NASA won't tell you but suggests that the Lunar Gateway thing (a mini-ISS) is where some of it could be done.
