The ISS will get new modules.

You serious?

And yet no one thought about skipping the gravity well and mine/process asteroids... baby steps i guess.

Yeah, Axiom is working on a private space station that would bud off the ISS when it deorbits. Although they have some money problems right now.

For asteroid mining, look up AstroForge. They're working on mining platinum group metals from near Earth m-type asteroids. They launched a forge demo sat and soon will launch an asteroid RPO demo sat.
