That’s not off the table. Nothing is. The only reason it’s in the news right now is because Biden set aside money specifically for NASA to start working on a finalized plan.
NASA’s existing plan is pretty much putting some undecided propulsion system somewhere near the middle of the truss. It’s a whole lot of nothing.

Yeah, but we won’t be able to control where it lands.
I don’t want a solar panel crushing me in the night, but that’s just me.

We don’t have any functional space shuttle anymore. They’re all pretty much taxidermied, with the outsides in museums and the fictional parts still with NASA.

Super late, but I’m pretty sure NOAA or another government agency has them available online. I think I saw them when I was trying to find the aerial photos they took.
