imo the iss is the most 'useful' manned space program that's taken place, it's actually useful for scientific purposes and I just love how the Russian and US segments work together seamlessly. it'd be a real shame when it finally goes down

Yeah, the ISS really seems to be the last bastion of collaboration between the two countries. I can't imagine any such collaboration happening on the successor to the ISS.
Its planned to happen in a few years anyway AFAIK. No idea why he cares about speeding it up.
kinda scary realising that 2030 is only 5 years away
So that his name will be written next to it forever.
well, if anyone needs another argument to keep it, here's one.
Well, the ISS won't last forever, but it would be silly to deorbit it while it's still working and we don't yet have a replacement.
Just when it seemed like he'd already gone "full crazy"... I guess this must be "fuller crazy".
They always find new depths to sink to.
I am not looking forward to "Block 5 fullerest crazy, version 7"...
