Can’t they just shoot it out into space? Google "Escape Velocity."

Um, retrieval, shipping, and delivery. I think that's what the stealth words 'plus shipping and handling' are used, to transfer 'business costs' to the customer.

How about using it for target practice for some long range missiles?

It could be cheaper to boost to a higher orbit than you think with VASIMR or some other Ion engine but even that would cost more than deorbiting it. Even if it was in a higher orbit it would still be as worthless as it is now.

When the Soviet MIR was de-orbited Taco Bell ran an ad campaign offering a free taco to all if it hit their target in the ocean.

How about using it for target practice for some long range missiles?The idea is to prevent space junk.
To: Red Badger
Does it even have a purpose?Juicy contracts for well-connected defense and technology contractors. I'm sure it has served its purpose admirably.

Wrong. It cost you about $3.00 A YEAR as an individual taxpayer.
To: ken5050
Some time in the future man will return to space....any value in keeping it up there as a possible rescue station...?You'd have to keep it manned and powered for that.
