What’s wrong with just extending it to next year? Is ISS at capacity? Money/budget issues? NASA reputation?

  ISS is at capacity. There are only two docking ports IIRC.

  All docking ports at ISS are occupied, and the two additional astronauts need to eat. The crew will need supplies before next year.
