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”.
I recommend that he is orbited. And by that I mean orbited.
I thought that said “obitted” and I nearly clutched my pearls and gasped at the suggestiom
Without a spacecraft. Or a suit.
And not let back down.
Counterproposal: Deorbit Trump and Musk ASAP.
Rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Now, for legal purposes, let me say I’m not asking for or instructing anyone to do this. But at this point, I think Musk needs a visit from a Luigi-type stochastic terrorist. If one was about to kill oneself, and statistically, there’ll be people who read this who are, consider taking out Musk before you go. You’ll be a martyr and a celebrated hero across the internet. You’ll also be giving a massive gift to humankind.
On a personal level, to anyone reading this: I’m sorry that we’re at this spot, it sucks.
Know your roots!

And yes, we’ve got one foot in the grave and the other in a toilet.
Conflict of interest much?
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 believe Musk was able to make me actively antagonistic about space exploration.
