Remember the only reason we're retiring it early is because psychotic women messed up the shitters.

They probably sent her for that reason, so they don't have to say it's a huge shekel vacuum.

We should push it toward the Sun and not the Earth. If you think about all the energy that went into putting that "mass" into orbit, you shouldn't want to deorbit it. Keep it up there and reuse it someday when we have the infrastructure to melt it down.

Or send it to Mars, so it can be used as an orbital storage station.
