why do we have to crash the ISS into the ocean? Can’t we send it out of Earth’s orbit safely, to crash on another planet, the sun or just keep going? Also: why can’t we do this with all the space junk that orbits the earth now?

As other people have been saying, the large issue with shooting the ISS into space is the power required.
What I don’t see being mentioned (in this scenario it’s a non-issue) is that we would want to avoid crashing our probes or crafts on planets that we are looking to research more in the future so that we don’t contaminate samples.
