🔍 Learning from the Past
NASA’s Space Shuttle Program 🚀
Remember NASA’s space shuttle program? It was revolutionary, with reusable rockets that launched and landed multiple times. However, after the Columbia disaster in 2003, the program was phased out by 2011. NASA then shifted its focus to deep space exploration, paving the way for new tech and private space companies.
Space Exploration Costs 💰
The moon landing wasn’t cheap. The Gemini and Apollo programs cost a staggering $290 billion (in today’s dollars). Each space shuttle flight alone was around $1.6 billion! To manage costs, NASA focused on deep space missions and welcomed private companies into the space race.

🌍 The Future of the ISS
Science Lab in Orbit 🔬
The ISS has been a vital research hub, orbiting Earth at 250 miles (402 km) high. It’s helped us understand the effects of space on living things and paved the way for future space missions.
Deorbiting the ISS 🌊
NASA plans to deorbit the ISS by 2031, using SpaceX’s $843 million ’U.S. Deorbit Vehicle’ contract. The ISS will have a controlled landing in the Pacific Ocean, ensuring a safe and planned retirement.
