re: Wasn't there a solar activity issue?
What hasn't been discussed is is the fact that the more
massive ISS grows, the more difficult it will be to raise its orbit.
And after 2015?...We have to discuss what happens to ISS
after that year...It will eventually have to come down...either piece by piece
or in one large chunk.
Has NASA made any plans for its eventual deorbit? Or are they sticking their
heads in the sand on the issue?
