Elon Musk calls for 'deorbiting' International Space Station to prioritize Mars missions

Business magnate Elon Musk advocated for "deorbiting" the International Space Station "as soon as possible," suggesting "2 years from now." He said the space station "has served its purpose."
NASA announced last year that Musk's SpaceX had been tapped to make a de-orbit vehicle. Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital.
"As the agency transitions to commercially owned space destinations closer to home, it is crucial to prepare for the safe and responsible deorbit of the International Space Station in a controlled manner after the end of its operational life in 2030," the agency noted. "NASA announced SpaceX has been selected to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle that will provide the capability to deorbit the space station and ensure avoidance of risk to populated areas."
