Some people did become sick after coming in contact with one of the
hydrazine tanks off of the Columbia.
And remember that failed spy satellite prototype that's full hydrazine
tank was so dangerous that it had to be destroyed in orbit by the Navy,
before it reentered and killed people. ;-)

ISS ground track is mostly over the most populated part of the
world.... probably any breakup would see some debris impacting
populated areas......

Actually, most of the world is ocean. *I wouldn't consider the ocean to
be "the most populated part of the world". *

mjor damage or deaths will see demands to end man in space since
theres little science coming from the station even now with a full
crew of 6....... if social security and medicare are being cut, nasas
budget will be shrinking too

So, Bob, in all of history, how many people have died as a result of
man-made falling space debris?

so how ofen has the world have a million pound station in orbit? made
up of many modules?

better question.......

So, you avoid the question.

the shuttle has flown forever with o ring burn thru issues, and foam
shedding troubles......

yet its never caused a loss so it must be safe..........

Apples and oranges.
