The International Space Station is heading into its final years of operation after more than 25 years of continuous human presence in orbit. Since 2000 it has served as a laboratory, a home for astronauts and a testbed for technologies needed for deeper spaceflight. Commenters are reflecting on the station's scientific legacy and looking ahead to its planned deorbit and the transition to commercial space stations.

Why now: The ageing station's end of service is approaching, prompting discussion of its legacy and what comes next in orbit.
