$100 billion waste of money.Attach an ion rocket to it, to keep its orbit from decaying. Or a vasimr rocket,to do both that and test the vasimr rocket concept.Then, either put the station in mothballs, and/or send it out of LEO and into alunar orbit. Or maybe a *very* high orbit, well beyond GEO, such that its orbitwill never decay. If in lunar orbit there's a ready made docking station for anytrips to the moon.Or let Elon buy it.> The Space Station: Should It Stay or Should It Go Now?> https://www.forbes.com/sites/gregautry/2017/10/25/the-space-station-should-it-stay-or-should-it-go-now/#7c7fb71b6dce
