Mir: 5 September 1989 - 28 August 1999
The Mir space station.
70 years
March 23,2001
The International Space Station (ISS) marked its 10th anniversary of continuous human occupation on Nov. 2, 2010. HOWEVER, I do not know if there was an overlapping of the beginning of the ISS occupation with that of MIR (the Soviet space station). So the answer I can give is at least 10 years and 28 days! Human Beings on earth are also in space, as earth is not outside space that is the cosmos. So, after the evolution of human beings, the space is having humans all the time. So, the last time space was without humans is before the first humans came on to earth. OK, leaving out the semantics of 'space' in the answer above, the MIR de-orbited in March 2001, so the answer is from Oct 31 2000 (the launch of the Russian Soyuz to dock with the ISS) and counting.

Yes, a space station will support humans. It does now; the International Space Station has a varying crew of from 3-5 people. Previous space stations such as the two Soviet Mir stations and the old NASA Skylab station all had human crews.
A man holds the record for the longest continuous time spent in space. Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov spent 437 days aboard the Mir space station in 1994-1995.
The record for the longest stay on the International Space Station is held by a Russian cosmonaut. Sergei Avdeyev earned the record by staying aboard for just over 747 days.
Sergei Krikalev has spent the longest time in space with a record time of 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes, or 2.2 years.This was achieved over the span of six spaceflights on Soyuz, the Space Shuttle, Mir, and International Space Station
As of 2008, the man with the longest time in space is Sergei K. Krikalev, who has spent 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes, or 2.2 years, in space. FactPalooza.Com Is A Source Of Interesting useful facts. Thank You
the bojarns (Incorrect) The Cardassians built the station during their occupation of the Bajor. After the Bajorans fought the Cardassians off, they took ownership of the station and asked the Federation to take command of it and help them rebuild their war-torn planet.
the iss is the biggest space station and only space station
