SpaceX is building a superpowered spaceship to scrap the International Space Station for NASA

NASA considered doing the job with three Russian Progress spacecraft, but even that wasn’t enough for the size of the space station, according to Dana Weigel, manager of NASA’s ISS program.

NASA and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, plan to continue using the ISS until 2030, when both agencies intend to go their separate ways and transition to new space stations. NASA hopes to be one of many customers on private space stations in the future.
