Probably US would pay Russia for keeping them in place.
- rbanffy 5y agoRussia wouldn’t let the US operate them.
- nine_k 5y agoIf we imagine an offer to buy out 1/3 of a space station, how much would it be? The amount should be colossal.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoIt would not be any more expensive than what Russia spent to build that portion. Moreover, accounting for depreciation, it’s not at all colossal.
- nine_k 5y agoIf it were reasonably easy to just replace the existing modules, they coukd have been replaced. But if you want these specific modules, already integrated into the station, which are an opposite of a commodity, the price includes a significant premium.
