Would be cool if they instead pushed it up into a cemetery orbit and in the future turned it into a museum.

It’s way closer to burning up (like, it’ll do it soon and uncontrollably without intervention) than a typical graveyard orbit. And if (when) it started breaking up in a poorly-chosen museum orbit, things would get very messy very fast.

I say send up a lil robot buddy that can hover around and 3D scan the interior for a few months and let anyone with a VR headset go hang out when they want to answer emails or whatever.

I love the 3D scanning idea. That would be a dream come true to have a virtual tour of the ISS

One of those places I've always wanted to see and hoped to never visit
