Elon Musk called to disorbitant this week International Space Station (ISS) “as soon as possible.”
“It’s time to start the preparations for deorbiting (ISS),” he wrote Musk In a message of x Thursday. “He has had its purpose. There is very little extra utility. Goazen to Mars.”
In a follow-up message, Musk said to recommend the president of Donald Trump that the station has dropped “as soon as possible” and the timeline of the 2030 for dinances moved from here to two years.
Space experts say ABC News is very important for scientific research to develop technologies, promote educational stems and promote diplomatic relationships. Early station premature innovation and analysis may be relevant to the future space missions.
“He is living in space and working at work, longitudinally, it will apply directly to our planet to return to the moon, and then he will go to Marside,” Professor of Science Communication at the University. At the University Chicago, ABC told the news. “So it has a diplomatic goal. It has an experiential goal, and then also has these scientific and technological development.”
“It would be embarrassing to cut this short for technical reasons, but for political reasons,” he added.

Research and technology development in microgravity
ISS has been in orbit in 24 years More than 4,000 experiments Direction, according to NASA.
Research is made in various disciplines, including biology, territory science, human health and physical science, the Federal Space Agency said.
A Microgravity of space It allows experiments in a way that cannot be repeated on the ground as a result of the gravity of the planet.
Bimm said he believes that it is one of the most important discoveries for Iss research, living and working in microgravity for a long time affecting the human body.
“We have found that astronauts live and work with scientists and self-experiments working in astronauts, when microgravity affects the body in deleteral ways,” he said. “Your bone loss, muscle loss, earthly gravity, usually depending on the gravity of the earth, the eyes and visual losses and things that change.”
He continued, “We have achieved good data over time, even for these things, we run in a resistance training or tread, such things I have noted without this platform for human beings for long time. have and studied in the scientific setting. “
He continued to learn to be learned for future space missions, the future lunar missions within the Artemis program and Martera missions.
David Alexander, Director of the Rice Institute at the Arroik University of Houston, ABC news also said Technology development And Issum materials are also long-term space missions, as well as being life on Earth.
This field is called the manufacture of space, Har DNA sequencing, develop new water purification systems as well as drug development.
“The unique space environment allows us to develop empty pharmacies. People work in the ground that would accelerate the communications of high cleaning fiber optics,” he said. “In the manufacture of space, some of them will be used in space, but some of them are on the market on the ground, which will bring those technologies and influencing those in our daily lives.”
Encourage the stem education
ISS is also involved Educational programs he Help students know science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem).
This is to provide students directly to talk directly to the crew that live and work through issues Amateur radioparticipation Virtual missionsLearn the space experiments that may be done at home and student challenge Design experiments problem exploration problems that resolve with DNA examination.
“Astronauts often make teleconferences in classrooms, Q and like,” BIMM said. “Having a land scientist introducing your class, communicates in orbits in orbits in the ISS documents. If we lost issues it’s like superpowers we would lose.”

Alexander said NASA and Iss also work to communicate with adults to organize a final conversation with the rice space institute Among the ISS athletes and the Olympic astronauts.
The interview said, such as the work of work ethics, human performance, space and sports between space and sport.
“It’s really important because it’s really important and, in particular, especially NASA spent a lot of time to keep astronauts available for the general public,” he said.
Improving diplomatic relationships
ISS Five Space Agencies and their contractors NASA, Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and Roskosmos Russian.
In the 1990s, the US proposed to combine American and Russian space programs after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and halt individual projects to build a new space station.
“We can talk about all different science and technology developments there, but also offers a diplomatic purpose that includes different spaces for such a long-term project,” BIMM said. “He really imagined the US and Russia and international partners would collaborate in space.”
NASA indicated that it has been ISS 18 Visited astronauts from different countries Collaborate in space, Iss construction, assembly and operation.
Each member manages the hardware that gives Issa, according to NASA.
“This allowed us to encourage much strong collaboration with countries around the world and think about the development of space technology and space exploration,” Alexander said.
