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?

The space junk orbiting Earth is in a different orbit than the ISS. To avoid crashing into Earth’s atmosphere and burning up, the ISS needs to be de-orbited and sent into the ocean.
