   With budget cuts and an aging station, can NASA learn to love a gap in orbit?

   "Personally, I don't think that would be the end of the world."

     @arstechnica keeping ISS around means opportunities to learn how to do major maintenance in space and how to design/build low maintenance space structures. At some point they need to last a century.

     @arstechnica F*ck. Every. Space. Program.

     If humans can't live on one incredibly lush, resource-abundant, and rare as f*ck planet without utterly destroying it and simultaneously making life for each other a living nightmare while we do it, we do not deserve the chance to do it again somewhere else.
