    The ISS is aging, and for safety’s sake, NASA intends to incinerate the immense facility around 2031. To accomplish the job, the agency will pay SpaceX up to $843 million, according to a statement released on June 26.

    See you guys in 2040

        Burgerland can’t even build a bridge, you think it’s capable of building a whole space station? 😂

          Huh? We are constantly building bridges, what a weird claim. But of course the US is quite capable of launching another space station.

              So what you’re saying is that the US can build bridges?

                If you think that taking a decade to build a bridge illustrates US capacity to build bridges effectively, then sure.
