Of course he recommended that. He has so much to gain. He doesn’t care about anything else other than money

Apparently Elon Musk wants to free up as much as NASA’s budget as possible to fund his Mars plans. He wants NASA to become SpaceX’s publicly funded branch.

Yep. More room for SpaceX to swoop in and make more money.

It’s the INTERNATIONAL space station. Can the US be the only force needed to pull the plug?

I used to think Trump was the most brittle ego alive, but I now realise he’s only the second.

This wasn’t what we meant by getting those astronauts back down

The ISS Commander called him out on his BS. Naturally now Musk wants to destroy the ISS

The article doesn’t mention that he tweeted this almost immediately after ~~the current~~ a former ISS mission commander called him out for lying on twitter.

Isn’t the ISS about ready to be retired anyway?

“This original statement was somewhat ambiguous. Last July, NASA awarded Space X an $843 million contract to modify a Dragon spacecraft to serve as a propulsive vehicle to safely guide the aging space station into the Pacific Ocean in 2030. So in some sense, preparations are already underway to shut down the laboratory.”

Counter-recommendation: blast Elon into orbit ASAP. No suit no ship. Since he wants to be efficient with money he can hold his breath.

All this is so fucked up. Musk needs to be removed from any government position.

They should shuttle him up there for a literal front-seat view of the deorbiting event.

I have to keep reminding myself that what I see with my eyes is in fact reality and not some demented dream. I have no idea how the US is going to survive this „presidency“.

A plan already made, Elon just wants his name on the decision.

$20 says he proposes a leased spaceX replacement immediately after it comes down

You don’t say. The oligarch with a private space company wants to further cripple NASA and public space exploration.
When SpaceX manages to put a human on the moon or build a space station, then he can talk about how much better he is at it.

okay so the smartest thing to possibly do is to never deorbit it and keep it active forever
