Honestly, when and if Russia leaves the ISS, I hope the whole thing goes down in flames (or floats off to oblivion). Actively imperialist nations (ie. the other ISS participants- basically the “league of colonial crackers+Japan”) have no place in space.
Imagine the west not even having a space station anymore while Russia and China go on to build moon bases.
As far as I know, NASA has two current plans. Either sell the ISS to some billionaire, or deorbit it and drop it into the ocean. Both are really sad conclusions to an important scientific and engineering project.
The funny thing is, the league of colonial crackers don’t have the capability to deorbit the ISS. Right now only the Russian Progress vehicle can significantly modify the orbit of the ISS. If it’s not deorbited quickly and precisely on purpose, it’ll deorbit on its own in an uncontrolled manner, with a slight risk of dropping debris on inhabited land.
Why would anyone purposefully fly on anything Boeing has made recently?
this is on msm but not china landing on the moon?
Ah yes, the capitalists do space so much better than communists. Yeah.
