Next Big Future: International space station extension to 2028 woul...: Boeing, the prime contractor, is trying to prove that the station’s components can hold up through at least 2028. Three years ago, Congress...
Summary:
The extension is not a good idea. A better alternative is to scrap it after 2020 and build new stations, which are more capable. Technology is becoming available that will enable this. We get more "bang for the buck".
comment:
Keeping the old station will only delay progress in space. Building a new one will facilitate adoption of new technologies.
I agree. Nice writeup from Brian Wang of Next Big Future.
