    So, why all these service modules are built for it, still?
    Like the one built by ESA or the Tenacity, posted here before?

    Good riddance to the money pit.
    I think, it means, to keep!
    All the problems the Hubble had, speculations to deorbit it etc.... but it still there!

    I think that the new modules will be removed prior to deorbit and used to build a new station.

    The ESA modules are made to resupply ISS, nothing to remove?

    The Hubble is a spectacular contributor to science. If there were a Nobel Prize for machines, it should get it.
    The ISS is a 40x more expensive piece of junk.

    Sure, it's only tax-payer money and I spoke to Biden; it grows on a tree in back of the White House...

    They spend more on Ukraine in a year $100 billion, than on the ISS, I thInk? Next year Ukraine has to negotiate land for peace with Russians, because they're stuck.
    West has no more money to support them, plus the new Israeli conflict is another drain?
    How much does the ISS cost?
    about $3 billion per year
    The International Space Station costs about $3 billion per year for NASA to operate, roughly a third of the human spaceflight budget, according to the agency's Office of the inspector general. As of May 2022, 258 individuals from 20 countries have visited the International Space Station.
