Has Russia Doomed The International Space Station? Russia to build their own. (#ISS)

The International Space Station will start its gradual ascent from orbit sometime in the following ten years. The gigantic structure gradually descends from its 400 kilometers of height, entering ever-thinner layers of our atmosphere until it approaches a point of no return, 280 kilometers over our heads. From this point, air resistance will cause the unit to slow down quickly and start to disintegrate. But why would such an important piece of space hardware be decommissioned?

Ever since the first ISS components entered space, the station has gradually expanded. The International Space Station may only be operational for another two years without Russia, which may spell disaster for NASA's long-term goals outlined in the transition assessment. More and more questions arise due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Would this also affect the international space industry? Let's take a closer look at the decommissioning and shocking reports to learn what we might have just lost in this video today. Also, this video was inspired from Real Engineering.
