I'm wondering how hard it would be to boost it to a long-term stable orbit and then empty it of it's atmosphere and just preserve it as some kind of a museum piece basically. Of course, for the near-to-medium future, such a museum piece is completely useless to anyone. But hopefully that won't always be the case.

- SllX 2y agoLike a space landmark. A spacemark? The San Francisco Cable Car museum makes a big deal about the Cable Cars being the only moving designated landmark (dunno if that’s still true, but it was when I was a kid), but in terms of speed the ISS has those rickety little boxes beat.
- rbanffy 2y agoNot sure it’s a good idea to just boost it. It would be impacted more frequently and release more material from the impacts, furthering the problem.
