| Subject: Cool: 'International Space Station for sale': NASA documents reveal Trump selloff plan Sun Feb 11, 2018 6:26 pm | |
| The Trump administration wants to turn the International Space Station (ISS) into a kind of orbiting real estate venture run not by the government, but by private industry.
The White House plans to stop funding for the station after 2024, ending direct federal support of the orbiting laboratory. But it does not intend to abandon it altogether, and is working on a transition plan that could turn the station over to the private sector, according to an internal NASA document obtained by The Washington Post.
