- jpgvm 6y agoMaybe with Starship flying soon we can replace the station for a fraction of what originally cost. I hope they consider pushing it out into a stable orbit instead of deorbitting it though... it seems like such a sad thing to destroy a piece of space history forever that we could feasibly retain now mass to orbit is orders of magnitude cheaper.
