Summary
Elon Musk has called for the International Space Station (ISS) to be deorbited “as soon as possible,” suggesting a two-year timeline instead of NASA’s planned 2030 retirement.
His statement has sparked political backlash, particularly from Sen. Ted Cruz, who supports the ISS. NASA and international partners prefer keeping the ISS operational.
Musk’s push appears tied to redirecting NASA funding toward Mars exploration, potentially challenging plans for private space stations.
This move could further centralize US space efforts around SpaceX, impacting commercial space competition.
I recommend that he is orbited. And by that I mean orbited.
I hear Elon has been wanting to colonize Mars.
Stuff him in a Cybertruck and launch it towards Mars. He should be fine.
I would suggest Mercury, just to be on the safe side.
Dropping the perigee that low is a waste of fuel unless you’re gonna be doing gravity assists
I thought that said “obitted” and I nearly clutched my pearls and gasped at the suggestiom
And not let back down.
Let him down whenever, as long as he’s orbited with a cannon.
Without a spacecraft. Or a suit.
