Why is the ISS going to be deorbited?

133 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

NASA plans to deorbit the ISS sometime around 2030. Building something the size of the ISS in orbit is a huge undertaking and NASA keeps talking about wanting to build new space stations or a moon base, so why not leave the ISS in space and reuse it rather than literally throw the whole thing away?

If they won’t use it anymore why don’t they just yeet it towards the sun ?
