After the Space Shuttle is retired in late 2010, the International Space Station will still continue to operate as usual. By the time the Space Shuttle is retired, all of the major components of the Space Station will be on orbit, so it will finally be complete. Crews to the space station will need to be delivered solely by Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, although if Project Constellation continues as planned, the Orion spacecraft will be used to deliver American crews. Other vehicles might also be developed to deliver crews, because it's expensive for NASA to buy seats for American astronauts onboard Russian spacecraft. Supplies will be delivered to the Space Station through Russian Progress supply crafts, Japanese H-II Transfer vehicles, and European Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) spacecraft.
If you mean the international space station, then there are 13 people on board
The space shuttle program was retired in 2011. Currently, NASA is using other vehicles, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
There are currently no space shuttles in operation, as the Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011. However, various spacecraft like the SpaceX Dragon and NASA's Orion are conducting missions to the International Space Station.
No, the space shuttle program was retired by NASA in 2011. Since then, NASA has been using different spacecraft, like SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner, to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
As of now, there are no space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011, and NASA has shifted its focus to other spacecraft like the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing Starliner for crewed missions to space.

A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
The fleet is due to retire in the year 2010. This could be extended to complete the international space station if needed.
The space shuttle is scheduled to be retired in 2010. Immediately after the transportation of Americans to the International Space Station will be done through the Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft. In or around 2014-2015, NASA will commission its Orion spacecraft. The Orion will start off bringing astronauts to the Space Station and will move on to its main goal, bringing people to the Moon for long duration stays.
The space shuttle program was retired in 2011. NASA currently uses different spacecraft for space travel, such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner. The next scheduled mission to the International Space Station is planned for November 2021.
As of now, there are no active space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011 with the final flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Today, spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner are used to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
This was to have happened last year, but problems were found that had to be corrected. The latest estimate is in Feb. 2011, but this is still subject to change. Check the nasa.gov website for the latest information.
Immediately after the Space Shuttle Program is retired, the International Space Station will rely upon the Russian Soyuz rockets to resupply and re-man the space station. In order to get its astronauts into space, NASA will have to buy seats on the Russian rockets.
