@hisham_hm I mean it is getting old, I'm assuming it's gonna start failing at some point and it's not something you're gonna leave be. But yeah all this and adding more scrap to the orbit... It all sucks.

I was bummed, too, but, from what I read, "feasible" is doing a lot of work in this case P.s., I'm right there with you about the significance of the ISS. I'm gutted thinking about it. |
@nosville22 Someone in the comments mentioned there was a rejected option of moving it to a higher orbit and keeping it there as a historical relic.
If that was feasible, imagine being able to inspect the ruins of the ISS a thousand years from now. We lament the loss of things like the Library of Alexandria and whatnot, and yet we're scrapping our own history that is happening today.
