I heard Sagan make an interesting comment about the lunar exploration 
program.  Namely that he was against starting the Apollo program, but he
was also against stopping it.  In other words, he felt that unmanned 
exploration would be more profitable, but having spent the money and 
established the capability of going to the moon, we should have used that 
capability to do more exploration.

I suspect he would feel similarly on the space station.

Incidently, the Planetary Society magazine has had a number articles, both
pro and con about the station.  I don't believe that the Society as a whole 
has taken a stand on it (though I could be wrong).
