As NASA Aims For The Moon, An Aging Space Station Faces An Uncertain Future
By Nell Greenfieldboyce
Weekend Edition Sunday, · When a rocket carrying the first module of
the International Space Station blasted off from Kazakhstan in November
of 1998, NASA officials said that the station would serve as an
orbiting home for astronauts and cosmonauts for at least 15 years.
It's now been over 18 years that the station has been continuously
occupied by people. The place is impressive, with more living space
than a six-bedroom house, two bathrooms and a large bay window for
looking down at Earth.
NASA and its international partners have spent decades and more than
$100 billion to make the station a reality. The trouble is, as the
agency sets its sights on returning people to the moon, the aging
station has become a financial burden. And it's not clear what its
future holds.
