International Space Station
Technological achievement
Initial construction completed Aug. 6 2010
The International Space Station was humankind's first collaboratively-built modular space station, beginning assembly in 1998 and remaining continuously occupied by humans from November of 2000 to its decommissioning in 2052. Having been succeeded as the primary point of human access to space in low-Earth orbit by Earth Orbital Spaceport, the ISS was gently towed to its present resting orbit around Earth-Moon L4, where it remains as a historical monument like its sibling, the International Lunar Research Station.
