Discuss: Should we drop the International Space Station in the Pacific?
Controversial Question:
Should we now stop the massive expense of completing the International Space Station (ISS) and deorbit it into the Pacific?
Pro: Keep the ISS:
It is our best laboratory for learning to live and work in space. It can be an important safety station on our way to the Moon (see Orbits).
Con: Discard the ISS:
Living and working in zero-g in low Earth orbit is very different from living and working on the Moon. The expense of this program is ruinous.
