In the summer, NASA signed an agreement with SpaceX to reduce the International Space Station (ISS). In this context, the station was planned to be destroyed by a special Dragon capsule to be developed.
Now, new statements came from the bet SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Musk said that Iss should be destroyed quickly.
“He served his purpose. It now has very little benefit. Let’s go to Mars. “
Musk, yesterday evening in his sharing on the X, the ISS should be removed from the orbit within the shortest possible period, he said that it does not work much anymore. He added priority to going to Mars: ız We should start preparations to take ISS out of orbit. Emeline served. It now has very little benefit. Let’s go to Mars. “
Then he was asked whether he wanted to be destroyed earlier. Musk said, “The decision is about the leader, but my advice is that it is possible for a short time. I may have suggestions after 2 years. ” He responded with his words.
It is not certain why Musk suddenly wants something like this. NASA’s ordinary plan was to remove ISS from orbit in 2030 and to reduce it to the ocean. The billionaire may think that spending on the station is unnecessary and it would make more sense to use it to Mars. NASA has more than $ 3 billion for annual ISS.
We can say that this kind of request will complicate the situation from Elon Musk, a module of the government and known for its proximity to Trump. NASA wanted to make the 2030 commitment into a reality with the inter -country affiliates. We will wait and see what will happen.
