The space station is man's only foothold in space. The space station is meant to stay in low orbit of the earth. Getting a space station up in space is not easy. most of the time a space shuttle has to take up the parts and the astronauts have to put it together in space. Many space stations have failed. But the most famous space station that has not failed is the International Space Station. The International Space Station is used by many counties. The space shuttle is the only spacecraft that can dock at the International Space Station. Most space stations are used for the study of space. Some were built for the military, but were never used. Over all the space station was a huge success in space.
