Summary
Elon Musk has called for the International Space Station (ISS) to be deorbited “as soon as possible,” suggesting a two-year timeline instead of NASA’s planned 2030 retirement.
His statement has sparked political backlash, particularly from Sen. Ted Cruz, who supports the ISS. NASA and international partners prefer keeping the ISS operational.
Musk’s push appears tied to redirecting NASA funding toward Mars exploration, potentially challenging plans for private space stations.
This move could further centralize US space efforts around SpaceX, impacting commercial space competition.
I recommend that Elon Musk be deorbited ASAP
And by “deorbited” I mean “take away his Ketamine”.
As a part of this deorbiting idea, I would suggest removing his orbitofrontal cortex. Although, with all the shit he is dribbling… I’m not so sure that he has one.
I’d be fine if we put him in the orbit of the sun.
Have I got good news for you!
Not sure what the sun ever did to you to deserve that, but I find that to be too harsh (on the sun).
Counterproposal: Deorbit Trump and Musk ASAP.
Rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Of course he wants any current or possible competition eliminated! Luckilly it’s not up to him or even the USA.
It’s the international space station. Not USA space station
Next Executive Order: rename International Space Station to American Space Station (ASS)
Sounds like something Elon could actually do!
fElon says his mind is like a storm or something, so I guess.
“What a genius!” - redcaps as they clap like seals, probably.
Might as well fast track other countries leadership on space. Why not? Fuck Elon btw.
I hate the fact that anyone, anywhere, has to listen to what fElon’s “thoughts” on anything are.
I can’t remember but who was it that had the contract to deorbit the ISS? Oh yeah, Spaz-X
I can’t believe Musk was able to make me actively antagonistic about space exploration.
Nah space flight is cool! And my cousin who works at SpaceX is cool. Musk doesn’t need to be synonymous with space exploration.
