This is the most expensive object in the history of mankind, will deliberately collapse into the ocean.

The International Space Station (ISS), considered the most expensive human-made object in history with an estimated value of over $100 billion, is set to be intentionally deorbited into the Pacific Ocean in the early 2030s. The planned controlled descent aims to prevent uncontrolled reentry, which could risk debris falling unpredictably on Earth. The target location for this deorbiting is Point Nemo, the most remote point in the Southern Pacific Ocean, calculated by Croatian engineer Hrvoje Lukatela in 1992. This area has been used for decades as a 'space graveyard,' where hundreds of defunct spacecraft have been deliberately sunk. The deorbiting mission will involve a specially modified SpaceX capsule worth up to $843 million, designed to guide the ISS safely into the ocean.
