Sadly, this isn’t a surprise. I’m hoping a new coalition of countries will emerge to support and run the iss.
And they’ll need to run supply and maintenance missions, and we really need to boost it to a higher altitude too in order to give it a longer life span.
*Boosting the International Space Station would require 120-140 m/s delta-V for a 100-year target orbit lifetime and 760 m/s delta-V for a greater than 10,000 year orbit lifetime, in comparison to 57 m/s for a controlled deorbit.*

Pffft…..Why would you want to spread knowledge between the smartest people in the world….
