NASA IS WORKING ON A PLAN TO REPLACE ITS SPACE STATION, BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

NASA will finalize a strategy for its operations in low-Earth orbit after 2030 over the next several months. It will award contracts to one or more private companies to develop small space stations towards the end of next year. These space stations will make NASA and other space agencies customers rather than operators. The plans are still developing and there are still many questions left unanswered, such as whether NASA really needs to continue having a presence in low-Earth orbit at all.
