TKDfella Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The ISS is on the retirement list is a few years anyway and would be sooner if alternatives were ready. But according to what I've read there maybe a gap in the ISS being retired and another built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropposurfer Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 AAwWWww ... poor didums. Taking your toys and going home we see. What a great opportunity for the US to pull its head out and invite China to create new space and hopefully worldly cooperation ... but maybe that's about as likely as large bovines flying (the head out of the dark nether regions I mean) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I wonder if the ISS can be towed to the moon to used as an orbital platform for exploring on the surface? Just my forward thinking.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my forward thinking.. The ISS orbits the Earth at around 250 miles. The moon is 250000 miles away. Its over 20 years old and in need of replacement so, no, it cannot be towed to the moon. There is no vehicle that could do it and servicing it with fuel, food, medicines and people become impossible as its 1000 times further away.

bangon04 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 we can see the news... "Sergei Lavrov denies that Russian missiles destroyed the space station. Russia NEVER targets civilian installations. Anyone who says otherwise is spreading provocation." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
