Point Nemo: Inside earth’s loneliest spot, the ocean graveyard where spacecraft go to die

Point Nemo, the most isolated spot on Earth, is gaining attention. Located in the South Pacific, it is the farthest point from any land. Astronauts in space are often closer than people on Earth. This remote area serves as a graveyard for old spacecraft. The International Space Station is also slated for deorbiting here around 2030.
