Axiom Space, they faced financial issues.
They had to delay payments to suppliers and they were struggling to pay their employees back.
That's like a situation that could kill a project very easily.
Like I said, NASA is supporting them as best they can.
They want them to keep going, of course, so NASA is going to give them as much money as they can to keep them going.
NASA plans to also award additional development contracts in 2026, and they've already invested over $500 million to help companies refine their designs, build their prototypes, and just keep those projects breathing air.
So in the short term, NASA is probably going to need to implement some temporary fixes.
I think that's pretty obvious.
They could involve sealing off the Zvezda transfer tunnel, like just closing it down and making it so no one can go into that module anymore.
That is where the leaks are the most severe.
So I think abandoning that would be…
It would be a difficult thing.
It's a needed module, but what else can they do?
These aren't ideal situations.
They don't have ideal solutions, but they could extend the station's lifespan long enough to bridge the gap.
We want there to be a continuous space station for a lot of reasons.
It would be great if they could move a module over with one of the new space stations and then move all the gear and all the expensive stuff and
That's a good way to transport stuff from one station to the other.
We don't want to have to pull the entire space station down and everything in it.
That would be really an unfortunate reality if that happens.
