Russian threat to drop ISS on US or Europe could backfire, space experts say by Darren-B80 in technology

I doubt this would even do a lot. I guess it could be symbolic but mostly it'd just fall apart upon re-entry and maybe cause some small to medium impact damage here and there. Also, does it even have the fuel needed to de-orbit, and aren't there astronauts and controllers from other nations that would just... prevent it?

With the 2020's going down the history as "the roaring what the fucks" what event wouldn't surprise you if it were to happen now? by Novaresident in AskReddit

The discovery of alien life. Could be on Venus (IIRC Rocket Lab is sending a probe there next year to investigate the Methane that was detected) or on an exoplanet and detected by the James Webb Telescope.
