Nov 5, 2022 at 9:42 comment added uhoh @ColonelCornieliusCornwall I don't see why this question "How exactly will... in 2025?" needs to be closed, further answers prevented and readers directed instead to "Why does it have to...?" I don't see answers to this question there. voting to leave open

Nov 3, 2022 at 4:36 comment added Deko Revinio Does this answer your question? Why does the ISS have to be destroyed?
Oct 17, 2018 at 11:25 comment added Mast Putting a bomb on it would be counter-productive. All of a sudden the amount of small (but dangerous) space debris gets even more insane that it already is. Whatever they've planned, it won't be that. You're right about the evacuation though. They won't leave anyone behind.
Oct 17, 2018 at 11:07 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution It would be cool if they could somehow let it crash on the moon or put it at a Lagrangian point and let it stay there as a monument.

Oct 16, 2018 at 18:58 comment added chepner "End of life" doesn't necessarily mean death; it's just jargon for "not supported anymore". It could exist unmaintained in orbit for some time (though to be sure, I don't think ISS can sustain its orbit unaided for very long).

Oct 15, 2018 at 23:51 comment added IMil Just read what happened to the Mir space station. Should be pretty similar, though with the bigger size more care should be taken when choosing the deorbit trajectory.
