In 2030, NASA plans to bring the ISS back to Earth, urging experts to highlight its redundancy and increasing liability due to outdated systems.
Experts indicate that after 146,000 orbits, the ISS is showing signs of aging equipment, failing thrusters, heightening concerns regarding its future viability.
The ISS has served as an invaluable research facility, but with over 400 research papers and 250 visitors since 1998, experts claim it has reached its expiry date.
The ISS weighs as much as 400 elephants and requires consistent thruster activation to maintain a 250-mile orbit; otherwise, it risks a potential uncontrolled descent.
