Unhinged and counter to the continued spirit of competition and
cooperation that sustained a polarised

world—at least until billionaires started sucking all the air of the room with their ambitions, the
chief of the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) suggests that a not asymmetrical response to mounting sanctions levied against Russia for invading Ukraine would be to
crash the
International Space Station with North America, Europe, India or China all being within the path of impact. While Russia modules do help keep the five-hundred tonne structure aloft and help to dodge space debris, the process would note be immediate and orbit would degrade over several years, with time for it to be restored.
