    It will be a lot cheaper and faster, if you give the contract to BOEING. They know how to destroy rockets and planes.🤔
  • 1 man overtook all of space, it’s mind blowing he isn’t hailed as a hero
  • @bishalnath24
    Cooperation time is over, now its space war time.
  • @ay9523
    ISRO can do that in 100-200 million 🙏🏻
  • I thought it was Space X. He has another company called Speecex, too?!
  • 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...????
  • @tykyfoster7028
    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
  • @rajeev_kumar
    Instead of Elon Musk, Tom Cruise should destroy it in an action sequence in his upcoming movie.
  • @jenkar5716
    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.
  • @meinghost632
    So many questions left unanswered in this report.
  • @IanCthrwd
    Does this include the Russian components?
  • @abhishekkumar29
    What we will do the waste or small parts of space station which creates big problems for us in future 😢
  • Nasa is just awesome. Elon Musk is a great businessman and inventor especially with Telsas.
  • NASA:"We need to destroy interna..... " Boeing:"speak no more, just give us the money! "
