Pickens appears to have had one swig too many from the ISS jug o' Kool Aid. I understand his need to be a booster for the company he serves as Chairman of, but if this is their "grand plan" to turn the moribund SpaceHab around, i'd sell that stock short.

Can't aruge with that. The ISS is a big expensive albatross hoping for something to justity its exenstence and Pickens is a salesmen.
