Peggy Whitson spent a total of 665 days in space during her career as an astronaut. This includes her missions aboard the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station (ISS), and her time as the commander of the ISS. Her record-breaking time in space made her the first female commander of the ISS and contributed to her status as one of the most experienced astronauts in history.

The only planet Eileen Collins has been to is Earth. She was the commander of the Return to Flight shuttle mission which went only to the International Space Station in low earth orbit. Incidentally, no other human has ever been to any other planet. Man has only been as far as the moon and these missions ceased in 1972.

Actually, the International Space Station (ISS) is not the first space station to orbit Earth. Several others, such as the Soviet Union's Mir space station and the United States' Skylab, preceded it. The ISS is, however, the largest and most advanced space station ever built, representing an international collaboration among several countries.

Salyut program of the U.S.S.R was the first space station. Skylab was the United States first space station. Then there was MIR from U.S.S.R. Now there is the international Space Station.
No. There were others before it, like Skylab and Mir.
