  1. Not really, it was an excellent example of multilateral co-operation, and has enabled a lot of research to be conducted in microgravity that would otherwise not have happened

  2. If you ask Google that question, loads of answers come up. Some key ones include muscle atrophy and microgravity research, disease research, cosmic particle collection and analysis, pulsar and black hole research, and hundreds of smaller experiments sent up over the years which have provided data and insight not possible on Earth.

  3. ​ @dirremoire why does everything have to be a massive breakthrough? The overwhelming majority of scientific development and discovery is made in small incremental steps. The ISS was perfect for this because it allowed for long-term persistent experiments across multiple crews, and as for the muscle atrophy stuff, a hell of a lot more research has been done on the subject, and other micro-gravity related physiology, since Skylab thanks to the ISS, building a far more detailed picture.

  4. ​ @darrenhenderson6921 it would be entirely uneconomical, and broadly pointless

  5.  @darrenhenderson6921  we do not have the technology available to de-orbit it, even in sections. It was never designed for re-entry, and there is no mechanism to do so. And again, there is zero reason to do so besides nostalgia.

  6. It's not hairspray, its just because she hasn't been able to properly wash her hair the whole times she's been in space.

  7. The tax rate in the US is incredibly low, on average, compared with a lot of the rest of the developed world

  8.  @dirremoire  a trillion across multiple nations and decades of use, to advance human understanding in a way never previously possible at that scale or persistence? Probably, yes.

  9. ​ @Agent77X how exactly has woke culture affected the space programme?

  10. The West has not fallen 😂

  11.  @MrSaywutnow  you need to travel to more countries around the world if you think the West has fallen. Many western countries still rank highest in terms of overall quality of life, safety, freedom, etc.
