After 26 years, what has it accomplished?

Where are they going to put all the solar panels?

The ISS, which has roughly the same pressurized volume as the Starship, and which only holds a crew of about 10, needs all these solar panels.

The ISS can only accommodate about a dozen crew at one time, and it needs all of these solar panels and radiators.

How can the Starship accommodate 100 crew without anything?

Is it possible to land a space station back on earth without damaging it?

Today is the 20th birthday of Space Meat Can. Happy Birthday Space Meat Can!

When are we going to get a real space station built for permanent habitation instead of this stupid fucking $150 billion workout room for 6 people?

Are there any novels that talk about what would happen to the ISS inhabitants if, say, there was a world ending event? Seems like the better place to ask than /lit/ because I'm not opposed to reading any sort of official document on what they're supposed to do in the event there is total loss of communication either.

How long would the ISS potentially last if all maintenance and stuff ceased? Not just food, I mean regular orbit corrections and things of that nature. There's a small possibility it would be the only thing left of human civilization for awhile if something truly catastrophic happened.

Do astronauts have sex on the ISS?

Instead of deorbiting the ISS, why not just devise a mission to dock some boosters onto it and launch it out to a stable lunar orbit?

So Earth is orbiting the Sun because of the Sun's gravity. If this is the case, why aren't astronauts in the ISS (or the ISS itself) being pulled toward the Sun?

This budget devouring tincan is the reason NASA can't send people to the moon let alone mars.

So what happens when the ISS is decomissioned in 2025 ?

Do space agencies nowadays have the budget to put something back up ?

Will it be the end of continuous manned spaceflight ?

Here's one.

why is the ISS being decommissioned in the 2020s?

Did everyone enjoy their ISS sightings this weekend?

I need to send 400 000 persons to a spaceship in orbit. What's the best way to do that ?

I'm looking for a spaceplane that could take a lot of people.

One of the former International Space Station commanders is coming to my job Monday to pal around with us for an hour. Can't remember his name.

What questions should I ask him?
