How will the International Space Station be disposed of when it comes to the end of its useful life? a Daily Mail correspondent asks. The only thing that makes any sense, in view of the cost of putting all that stuff into orbit, is to boost it to a higher orbit and mine it for spare parts as needed. And maybe bring the odd small bits back to Earth with returning astronauts to feed the souvenir trade and raise a bit of cash.
