    imo the iss is the most ‘useful’ manned space program that’s taken place, it’s actually useful for scientific purposes and I just love how the Russian and US segments work together seamlessly. it’d be a real shame when it finally goes down

      Yeah, the ISS really seems to be the last bastion of collaboration between the two countries. I can’t imagine any such collaboration happening on the successor to the ISS.

      Its planned to happen in a few years anyway AFAIK. No idea why he cares about speeding it up.

      Well, the ISS won’t last forever, but it would be silly to deorbit it while it’s still working and we don’t yet have a replacement.

    Just when it seemed like he’d already gone “full crazy”… I guess this must be “fuller crazy”.
