4 to 9 years
The first part launched in 1998. It's not yet finished, the last module is supposed to launch in 2012. More modules could be added in the future.
there are currently 6 people in the international space station.
I suppose the international space station is mankind's most recent colony.
The International Space Station is operated by a team of astronauts and cosmonauts from various countries who take turns living and working on the station for missions that typically last six months. The crew is responsible for conducting scientific experiments, maintenance tasks, and ensuring the overall operation of the space station.
The International Space Station was initially intended to last 15 years when it was first launched in 1998. However, with ongoing maintenance and upgrades, its mission has been extended multiple times, and it is now expected to remain operational until at least 2030.
There is no current US space station. The last US space station was called SkyLab - but it entered Earth's atmosphere in 1979. The US (through NASA) currently uses the International Space Station or ISS.

Atlantis was the last space shuttle, But the mission was STS-135
The last space ship to launch into space was the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour on November 10, 2021. It launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying astronauts to the International Space Station.
Astronauts from various countries live and work onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The crew typically consists of six astronauts at a time, who stay on the ISS for missions that usually last about six months.
Discovery visited the International Space Station in late October and early November in 2007. Endeavour visited in March 2008. Discovery (STS-119/15A) revisited the ISS in March of 2009 to install the last Solar Array which marked the completion of the truss.
the last nasa launched a space shuttle was on march 18
