Sounds like extending the life of the station past 2030 is looking increasingly unlikely. Let's hope that at least one of Haven-1, the Axiom Segment, Orbital Reef, or Starlab are operational by then.
Even if they are, they'll still be nowhere as big or shine as brilliantly as the ISS does. I'll miss watching it soar overhead. :/
Maybe not at first, but if they are successful, they'll either grow or be followed by even larger stations. The Axiom station will be modular, and Vast have already announced plans for 8 meter "Starship-class" modules. I'll miss the ISS too, but I'm hoping that we'll see bigger and better stations in the future.
