Over time, Kepler will be filled with station rubbish. In June, the ship will be commanded to undock from the ISS and take that refuse - and itself - into a destructive dive through Earth's atmosphere over a defined region of the South Pacific
Doesn't it seem like a collossal waste to use a spaceship instead of a giant garbage bag?
Though you have a point. Why not send supplies up in extension modules or interplanetary starship parts?
