🤔 Why isn't the #ISS (partially) recycled (by #SpaceRobot) and parts ⚙️ or raw material used for the #LunarGateway (maybe for #RadiationProtection instead of #luggage 🛍️)? The #BBC article doesn't cover this https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/why-is-the-iss-being-retired-and-what-will-happen-to-it

To safely bring the #ISS back to #Earth, a dedicated #spacecraft will have to be built, the total cost of which is estimated at $1 billion 💰 over the course of this decade.
