    Depends. Not even many stone buildings last many centuries. Wooden structures tend to be much less, and humanity has seen many stone structures slowly turn uninhabitable.

    Besides, in space, there is much, MUCH more space. There is only a little need to fight over orbital space, let alone literal adjacent space. We don’t need to rennovate the ISS to reclaim ideal space.

    Whether or not you know about them, there are also several plans ongoing for replacing the ISS, too, so your inability to grasp this is… kinda’ weird.

      What? Room inside a space station is incredibly expensive because we have to design, build and launch it!

      Key word: “plans.” I.e., things that aren’t actually built yet and in fact might not ever get built.

      Throwing out the ISS before we have at least part of a replacement in orbit is an excellent way to risk failing to have a space station completely.
