What's The Outlook For The ISS
2007-08-18
Posted by:3dc

#1  ISS was a boondoggle compromised in design to keep the Russians in line and their scientists busy. Putin's games should have led to the complete abandoning of the project. So what if that leaves the ISS in Russian hands, without US cash they can't get up there and the orbital inclination is nightmarish anyway.

The only thing the ISS is good for at this point is as a docking area for orbital vehicle assembly and even then the inclination is a problem.
