Send the ISS to the Moon (and back again?)

Interesting idea... but silly.. it would be easier and less expensive to build a new lunar station than to retrofit the ISS for that purpose. I don't think people realize how uniquely designed space hardware is for a specific mission.

Besides.. what can the ISS do in lunar orbit that it can't do in earth orbit?
