The latest draft budget proposal suggests that the United States will no longer fund the International Space Station beyond 2025. The US has spent $87 billion on the station since its inception, and NASA is currently contributing $3 to $4 billion a year.



The International Space Station — a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit — has been circling us for two decades and is expected to be used for another ten years, at least. The annual cost (about $125 billion) is shared between all participating countries: Canada (CSA), Japan (JAXA), Russia (Roscosmos), the United States, and 13 members of the European Space Agency (ESA).
