Summary
Elon Musk has called for the International Space Station (ISS) to be deorbited “as soon as possible,” suggesting a two-year timeline instead of NASA’s planned 2030 retirement.
His statement has sparked political backlash, particularly from Sen. Ted Cruz, who supports the ISS. NASA and international partners prefer keeping the ISS operational.
Musk’s push appears tied to redirecting NASA funding toward Mars exploration, potentially challenging plans for private space stations.
This move could further centralize US space efforts around SpaceX, impacting commercial space competition.
Of course he wants any current or possible competition eliminated! Luckilly it’s not up to him or even the USA.
It’s the international space station. Not USA space station
Next Executive Order: rename International Space Station to American Space Station (ASS)
Sounds like something Elon could actually do!
fElon says his mind is like a storm or something, so I guess.
“What a genius!” - redcaps as they clap like seals, probably.
