The Mir Space Station was too big and too expensive to be recovered from Earth. In 2001 it was deorbited and allowed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Any remains crashed into the ocean. Their are Mir mockups and artifacts on display at various locations around the world. The Mir Space Station was too big and too expensive to be recovered from Earth.
