Elon Musk recently called for the ISS to be deorbited "as soon as possible." Experts say the station provides vital research, technological development and education

Elon Musk’s latest space-related hammer throw is to call for the International Space Station to be deorbited as soon as two years from now.

Elon Musk continues to push the idea that it’s time to deorbit the International Space Station and shift focus toward the Red Planet. “It has served its purpose,” the billionaire SpaceX founder wrote on his social media platform X.

NASA has selected SpaceX to develop the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle, which will be responsible for guiding the ISS to its end of life. While SpaceX will develop the spacecraft, NASA will take ownership and oversee its operation during the deorbit process. The spacecraft will ultimately burn up along with the ISS during re-entry.

Elon Musk is beefing with a former commander of the International Space Station on his social media ... warfare — particularly because Musk’s SpaceX is a major contractor for the agency.
