Isn’t it supposed to be de-orbited in 2028 anyway…?
All because the ISS commander called him out regarding lies about the stranded astronauts being “abandoned” by Biden on the station.
I recommend Elon musk BE orbited. So maybe we can work on that.
At this point Elon could just produce a list of all he needs to help his business or money making ventures openly. Milk it for the next four years, go on man!
I can’t wait for him to just leave for mars, pluto or whatever
For clarification, the ISS is scheduled to be deported in 2030 anyway.
So while on its face it’s not too crazy, there’s some important missing context. Firstly that SpaceX has the contract to deorbit to begin with, so it’s bumping up his payday. Secondly that both China and Russia have or are planning their own space station(s), meaning the USA will be the only one of them without a notable space presence. Do you think the US will stand for that? Who do you think will get the job of putting up a new one under this administration?
And this comes just after the former ISS commander called out Elon for his lies.
This is manipulation for his own enrichment, a petty retort for his hurt ego, or some combination of both.
He likely has plans for a new one and wants the blank cheques from his bestie.
Let me get guess, he wants a Space X station up there instead.
Apart from the obvious conflict of interest with Musk advocating for the focus and funding to be moved to SpaceX’s pet Mars project – this also neatly removes a funding source for some of SpaceX’s competitors like Sierra Space who have won Commercial Resupply contracts to the ISS.
It’s nice how this is the third time (at least) this story had to be posted because apparently someone who can remove stories from this sub is carrying water for musk
That’s really gross behavior and they should feel ashamed
Let’s see how long this stays up!
Yeah well it’s the International Space Station not the American Space Station so he can fuck right off.
I recommend we deorbit Elon. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Astronauts have to go through psych evaluations to do what they do, but a guy like Elon gets to take over the government because money.
reminds me of that song… „A Dragon death roll“
You gonna get the astronauts out first?….Right?…Hello?….
Musk should be de-somethinged. I believe the French Revolution might provide some inspiration.
Can we start by firing him into the sun instead?
Space X won’t even have the ISS deorbit vehicle ready in 2 years. It’s uncertain that they would have it time for the scheduled deorbit in 2030. This makes no sense.
So Musk is calling for the ISS to be decommissioned in 2 years rather than 5 years?
Cancel the entire program including all money to spacex. No one cares. Said it himself, the people mandated him to save money.
Correct me if im wrong but isn’t there already a plan to de orbit the ISS? I could have sworn i heard NDT talking about it..
Edit hear to heard
We are truly living in the stupidest timeline.
If the option is to drop it on him, we can set this up like the trolley question.
Maybe this is really about erectile dysfunction
It’s almost as if allowing mentally / emotionally stunted people to amass unfathomable wealth and power is a bad thing?
We here on earth recommend that Musk be shot into space right now, preferably without a helmet.
I hate this man so much. Like I don’t think I’ve felt this much genuine hate for someone I don’t personally know.
I wish it could be deorbited right into the white house, freeing our planet of him.

And soon we’ll probably be hearing about some SpaceX station that he wants to replace it with that he’ll require billions of government funding to make happen
Probably so he can build its replacement to the tune of several hundred billion dollars of taxpayer money. Of this, I’m 100% sure.
fuck around and find out, thats the lesson learned here.
Why is this big news? NASA itself has planned/intended multiple times to bring the ISS to its end of life. It’s been operating a lot longer than it was initially planned for.
No conflict of interest here at all. Astro boy wants nasa out of the picture so space becomes fully privatized, but still government funded…
Never let anyone try to convince you that Elon Musk has the best interests for the country at heart. As if it were not clear enough, he’s a petulant, drug addled megalomaniac who only cares about enriching himself at the great expense of all Americans, and his fantasy obsession of creating a white supremacist colony on Mars. That’s what he really wants.
He is the greatest perpetrator of „waste, fraud, and abuse“ in American history.
Just funnel the treasury into SpaceX at this point.
