Deep Space Station

There seems to be solid support within NASA for building an international space station beyond the Moon, at a point where lunar and Earth gravity cancel each other out.  Such a station could be a premier science outpost, directing the telerobotic exploration of the lunar farside, conducting research onboard, and serving as the jump off point for missions deeper into space.

The project is in line with President Obama's approach to building a durable thrust into space, but a President Romney might have other ideas.
