The End Of The International Space Station
The ISS has been in low orbit above the earth for almost 25 years.
It’s played host to astronauts from around the world. But that’s about to come to an end.
NASA is gearing up to deorbit the ISS in 2030 and it’s working with private companies to begin development of commercial space stations to take its place.
What will that transition look like? And what does the commercialization of space hold for humanity in the near and far futures?
