A bit of searching just finds lots of 'hand-wavy' suggestions. Maybe a
Russian station using their module from the ISS, maybe a new Chinese

Oh dear no way.  You know what would happen: the astronauts would be up
there redistributing the wealth, to each according to his need-ing, and so
forth, then pretty soon the astronauts would get lazy and complacent,
pretend to work and the government would pretend to pay them, all that.  Bad
idea, bad.
