    Jim Bridenstine said the agency will consider “a range of options” to make private operation of the space station feasible.

    “Some of it might be that the I.S.S. wouldn’t exist in its current form,” he said. “But maybe it gets split into a number of different components. Some of it could be de-orbited.”
