"NASA's Ambitious Plans for Space Infrastructure Destruction and Development"

NASA plans to develop a specialized spacecraft to deorbit the International Space Station (ISS) and guide it to crash into the Pacific Ocean at Point Nemo, the furthest location from any land. The $180 million allocation for the project is part of the $27.2 billion budget for NASA. The spacecraft will be developed to avoid relying on Russia's Progress cargo spacecraft for deorbiting the ISS. The project is expected to cost around $1 billion, and the ISS is expected to touch down in 2030.
