Is the International Space Station the only Space Station shared by every country?

Currently right now the International Space Station is the only
space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station
with such international participation that it can be really be
considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent
astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the
International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily
mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that
contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada,
Japan, and several European countries.
Asked in The Moon
What are astronauts doing on the moon now?

There are no astronauts on the moon now. The last time
astronauts were on the moon was in 1972. There are lots of
astronauts in space. Most of them are on the International Space
Station, which is orbiting the Earth. They are doing lots of
scientific jobs there, and they are continuing the construction of
the space station. There are usually 6 people on it at any one
time. The Space Shuttle usually brings people to and from the
International Space Station. So when it is also orbiting the Earth,
there are more than 6 people in space.
Asked in International Space Station
Hen was the International space station invented?

The International Space Station was first conceived in the early
80's as Space Station Freedom. It was originally intended to be a
counter to the Russian Salyut and Mir space stations. At the same
time, the Russians were developing Mir-2 as a replacement for the
space station Mir. Because of budget and design contraints, Space
Station Freedom never made it past minor tests. Shortly after the
collapse of the Soviet Union, Mir-2 was also on the verge of being
cancelled. Through international cooperation, both space station
projects were revived. In 1993, the Clinton administration
announced that Space Station Freedom, Mir-2, as well as Europe's
Columbus Orbital Facility and Japan's Kibo would all be combined
into one large space station: The International Space Station. In
1998, construction of the International Space Station finally began
with the launch of Russia's Zarya module, originally designed for
Mir-2. And now over 10 years later, ISS is almost complete.

Why is the International Space Station visible right now?

The International Space Station passes over all parts of the
world at some stage. Typically it will pass over somewhere
regularly for about 10 days, and not be seen again for about 2
months. It takes about an hour and a half to orbit the planet. You
will find details on when it can be seen through the links below,
by putting in your location. It looks like a bright moving star
when it passes overhead, taking a few minutes to travel through the
sky.
