The International Space Station is one of our finest pieces of collaborative engineering, but after Russia announced that it will be leaving the space station in 2024, it raised a number of questions. What happens when Russia leaves the ISS? How would Russia's departure affect the ISS program? How would that even be possible? This video looks at what Russia brings to the table and how the ISS would (or wouldn’t) function if they left.
