🚨SPACEX TO SAFELY DESTROY ISS WITH MODIFIED DRAGON SPACECRAFT
NASA has deemed the aging ISS too bulky to bring back to Earth intact or to boost into a higher orbit.
Instead, the plan calls for a controlled, fiery plunge into the atmosphere to dispose of the station.

This is harder than it may seem. ISS has pretty low max thrust limits, as the solar arrays are very floppy, but requires a high total impulse to deorbit with precision.
