1. Why no inflatable modules?
2. This will be NASA's only space station after ISS is deorbited. The assumption is private space industry will replace ISS with a smaller commercial station. What if nobody steps up to the plate though? Can we still use Gateway without any LEO station?
3. What is the point of using Gateway when a single specialized Starship placed into the same orbit would have more habitable volume? The Starship HLS absolutely dwarfs Gateway. Likewise with the base camp habitat. What's the point when astronauts could just live out of the HLS and it would be roomier?
