International Space Station set to plunge to Earth

The video discusses the planned decommissioning of the International Space Station (ISS). The Biden administration has extended the ISS's operations until 2030, after which it will be used to test modules for private space stations. Starting in 2026, the ISS will gradually lose altitude, and by 2033, it will be guided to crash into a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean. NASA plans to use uncrewed cargo ships to slow the ISS's descent, ensuring that most of it burns up in the atmosphere, with remaining parts falling into the ocean.
