The first residents to board the International Space Station (ISS) were American astronaut William Shepherd and Russian cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev. They arrived on the ISS on November 2, 2000, as part of Expedition 1.
its because its the ISS
People started living on the International Space Station (ISS) in the year 2000, when the first crew arrived on November 2. Since then, the ISS has been continuously inhabited by astronauts from various countries who conduct scientific research and maintain the space station.
Construction of the International Space Station (ISS) began in 1998. The first module, Zarya, was launched in November 1998, marking the beginning of the assembly phase of the ISS.
Supplies are typically delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) by spacecraft, such as SpaceX's Dragon or Northrop Grumman's Cygnus, launched from Earth. These spacecraft are designed to dock with the ISS and deliver cargo, food, equipment, and scientific experiments to the astronauts on board.

Discovery (STS-96) made its first docking with the International Space Station (ISS) on 29 May, 1999. This was also the first shuttle to actually dock with the ISS. The pilot of this mission was Rick Husband, who would later lose his life on-board the shuttle Columbia (STS-107).

No, Mark Shuttleworth has not been to the moon. He is a South African entrepreneur who is known for being the second self-funded space tourist, traveling to the International Space Station in 2002 aboard a Russian spacecraft.
You behave and get all your work done. :)
As of now (October 2021), there are seven astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

The International Space Station (ISS) was not launched from Earth in one single event. It was assembled in space over multiple launches beginning in 1998. The first module of the ISS, the Zarya module, was launched on November 20, 1998.
The ISS is owned by multiple space agencies representing countries involved in its construction and operation, including NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada). Each partner has contributed different modules and equipment to the station.
The ISS is as big as a football field
The International Space Station (ISS) is approximately 357 feet (109 meters) long. It is made up of multiple interconnected modules that house living quarters, laboratories, and other facilities for astronauts to conduct research and experiments in space.
