It will be a lot cheaper and faster, if you give the contract to BOEING. They know how to destroy rockets and planes.🤔

[bishalnath]

Cooperation time is over, now its space war time.

[bryanholland]

I thought it was Space X. He has another company called Speecex, too?!

[justsaiyanmusic]

1 man overtook all of space, it’s mind blowing he isn’t hailed as a hero

[ay]

ISRO can do that in 100-200 million 🙏🏻

[marcoterranova]

Why destroy it, refit it, land it on the moon, and have the first support moon base for the first period of operation before building the real moon base...????

[rajeev_kumar]

Instead of Elon Musk, Tom Cruise should destroy it in an action sequence in his upcoming movie.

[jenkar]

When they wanted to build the Station, they needed the co-operation of International communities, when they want to destroy it, they are taking it unanimously.

[abhishekkumar]

What we will do the waste or small parts of space station which creates big problems for us in future 😢

[meinghost]

So many questions left unanswered in this report.

[setofwings]

Interestingly, just a day before this news broke I had a dream where the ISS was under attack by surrounding by Russian craft who took it down.

[JaylenPotts-zsqw]

Nasa is just awesome. Elon Musk is a great businessman and inventor especially with Telsas.

[QiuQiuChannel-nixj]

NASA:"We need to destroy "

Boeing:"speak no more, just give us the money! "

[IanCthrwd]

Does this include the Russian components?

[WOWspectaiculairmoments]

Those solarpanals disconect and use them 4 a satelliet that is recirculatie

[GauravKumar-plki]

Why care for rich, media should focus on condition of poor people

[tykyfoster]

Could there be any other way, like dismantle by section and bringing it down with the SpaceX rockets, under safe landing platforms. I heard some things about the hard landing

[maheshBasavaraju]

Y not take the space station to moon instead of crashing it here. It can orbit the moon

[ryankeith]

😂the dude says "use of space" who makes that decision ? The owner lol 😂?

[HappyLearner-jbjp]

Why not take it into further orbit and still use it?
