As I understand it, NASA is planning on "retiring" the ISS at the end
of its nominal planned lifetime of ten years past its completion date
of 2010, that is, in 2020.



In a few decades, we'll be having this very same discusion about
what to do with the shiny new base we have on the moon.

How incredibly sad is that? What a great epitaph.

......We Built Them and Nobody Came....


NASA needs to have a long term goal that actually
accomplishes something this time. Not another
engineering goal...ie...a make-work program
for the large contractors to maintain their
space capabilities.
