One of my RL Friends (who doesn't maintain a big presence on FA), 
minerug took my artpiece Blitz sees the Earth from Low Earth Orbit, one of my favourites for the subject matter and Zero Gravity, and with GIMP improved it, adding HSV noise for the fur and Camera lens effects. I really like what he's done to improve it
Original Description
August 15th, 2012. The Space Shuttle "Balto," on mission FSTS-216 lifted off from Califur Space Centre in California, on a 15-day mission to the Interspecies Space Station to resupply as well as install a new Biology Laboratory module for the Space Station.
Among it's seven crew members was American Furronaut Red Fox Blitz, who was their Pilot and on his first Spaceflight. He had dreamed about being a Furronaut for a large part of his life, and now here he was: over 400 kilometres above the Earth, in total weightlessness and aboard Mankind's Biggest Orbital Outpost.
During the free times of his mission his favourite place to be was in the Cupola Module, the enormous window on the belly of the station with the best view of the Earth below him, where he took photograph after photograph of the magnificent planet below him.
This photo was taken by Japanese Furronaut Akita Dog Fujimoto Ryouta from the entrance of the Cupola module, who was part of Expedition 37, one of the 9 Permanent Crewmembers of the Interspecies Space Station
If you're wondering about what the view from the REAL Cupola Module is, here's a video tour by Astronaut Scott Kelly of the Cupola Module on the IRL International Space Station

PS: He doesn't maintain a big presence on FA, so for the love of crap please do not go over there and spam him to death

So far I have read that the decommissioning is going to take plans in 2020. They have not decided if they are going to reuse some parts or if they will abandon the whole thing. They also haven't decided if they are going to make it reenter or if they are going to keep it in orbit. Dunking it into the pacific is just one option.
