Next Step in Space Exploration

In Michael Benson's proposal "Send It Somewhere Special" he says that we are wasting time and money on the International Space Station. He says, "[The project] is going nowhere at a very high rate of speed."  His proposal is to send it somewhere.
I would like to see the ISS go to Mars, or a near-Earth asteroid.  Both of these places would be beneficial to the world because we may find some type of raw material that could be used in place of our non-renewable resources.  We may also find a resource that may be more efficient than ones we are using now.  Some may argue that this would be a waste of money, but so is letting the ISS sit in space with no real use.
