The ISS cost about $150 billion to build and about $4 billion a year to run. NASA now pays SpaceX $843 million to push it into the atmosphere after it retires in 2030. Its replacement is a set of private stations that NASA itself helps fund. The public paid for the station, pays to destroy it and will pay rent on whatever comes next.
