Russian cosmonaut wants a word with the maker of bolts used on the ISS

the entire thing is constantly upgraded and replaced. piece by piece. it's a "living" station. no reason for it to go down.

@spectre: The last thing I heard on it was that the ISS is "worn out" and floating the idea of how to make sure it all falls into the Pacific. Regardless of whether it's still usable or not, the ISS is a poor substitute for what we were promised from the movie, 2001 A Space Odyssey. The (((ELITES))) clearly want the Goyim out of space, out of their airspace, and back on the ground like good slaves. I distinctly remember after Apollo 15 how the elites said they were bored with space since nothing interesting was found on the Moon for them to exploit. To that end, (((THEY))) decided it was pointless to give us the excellent public education that the Baby Boomers and prior generations received. (((TPTB))) don't need us to do the amazing things we did in the 20th century. (((THEY))) want us to be SLAVES and our entire lives will be spent in doing whatever will satisfy the lusts and indulgences of (((TPTB))) and their fellow Jews. The only "space" we need is Joy Rides For Billionaires, space hotels, and other outlets for the Top 1% to indulge in. The ISS has no potential to do anything that (((THEY))) want in the future so, it's coming down. After it's gone, it will not be allowed to be mentioned again and the next generation won't believe it ever existed. https://www.azquotes.com/pictu....re-quotes/quote-goyi

I read the report on the station and much of it has to do with factors of safety and since the ISS orbits the earth every 90 minutes, it heats up and cools down a fair bit (????) on some parts and areas and this leads to structural fatigue on some areas, more so than others. There is also heaps of fine damage due to micrometeorites and finer particles of shit in space, and much equipment and electronics etc., is aging from radiation damage etc., AND little leaks are opening up here and there... and most of the hardware is getting just plain old.... I was asked by NASA if my car had a tow bar so I could tow the ISS to a nice orbit around the moon. I asked them how far it was and they said, "Oh it's about 240,000 miles or 390,000 Km" and when I told them even with a few extra jerry cans etc., I'd be lucky to get maybe 5,000 K at best.... for a return journey.... they were very disappointeed.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: A little bondo and car wax will fix up the ISS just fine. If it were orbiting the Moon, it would suffer far less temp changes and abrasion from micrometerites because the gravity around the Moon is so much less. What you COULD DO is rent a truck and have NASA pay you back on the rental fee. If you get short on gas, there's always AAA roadside service. I think that's a fair deal.

@InfiniteMushroom: I'd like to see them clad the station in a new outer casing - with insulation, and then reline the interior with a silicone airbag, or an inner tube of sorts to seal it all up.... That would bring an end to the internal structure heating and cooling - sort of making it an eternal structure, inside it's casing and the new inner tube, would make it permanently sealed. https://youtu.be/k6g9Yv8LwOU --- https://youtu.be/Ez609kf49y8 --- https://youtu.be/fS-45OV9PEM

I submitted a paper and a design to DARPA, for a space debris removal system - it was so good, but not only would it remove all the magnetic and paramagetinc debris, it would destroy all the satellites as well. This is good. https://youtu.be/aMgOBwi-8fk

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Make sure you patent your idea and invention!
