🤔 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.
A #SpacePolicy expert suggested the opposite idea: #raising ⤴️ the #ISS to a stable #orbit at the end of its useful life ♻️ https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2023-11-20/25-years-of-the-international-space-station-what-next-for-a-beacon-of-peaceful-international-scientific-collaboration.html

"From a #scientific perspective, we have lots of data at one g, where we have billions of data points of how the human body works in this environment. And we have a decent amount of data points at zero g based largely from the #ISS experience. But we have nothing in between one and zero." There would also be other benefits to having a modest amount of #gravity, he said.
