NASA Reveals Plans to DESTROY International Space Station in 2031
NASA has revealed plans to sink the International Space Station (ISS) in one of the most remote places on Earth – also known as a ‘spacecraft cemetery.’
The ISS will be deorbited and steered towards Point Nemo, an uninhabited area of the south Pacific Ocean, where satellites and rockets are often put to rest.
The space station, which launched in 1998, was designed to last for 15 years, and will have been operational for over 30 by the time it is sent plunging into the ocean.
The ISS of late has been regularly hit by technical problems, with astronauts reporting cracks, leaks and other problems with its systems.
