The head of SpaceX proposed to de—orbit the ISS - and the sooner the better. At first glance, this is a strange idea for a space fan. On the second, everything is different: the Soviet cosmonaut and engineer Grechko was the first to publicly question the usefulness of orbital stations. Both he and Musk have very good reasons for this. And given the latter's position in the main power on which the existence of the ISS depends, there are chances for the realization of this idea.
