Limits RegistryThe International Space Station has been continuously occupied by rotating crews since Expedition 1 docked on November 2, 2000 — over 25 years of unbroken human presence in space as of November 2025, longer than any other sustained off-world human presence in history, with more than 290 astronauts from around the world having lived and worked aboard.
The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
The International Space Station has been continuously occupied by rotating crews since Expedition 1 docked on November 2, 2000 — over 25 years of unbroken human presence in space as of November 2025, longer than any other sustained off-world human presence in history, with more than 290 astronauts from around the world having lived and worked aboard.
The duration of continuous, unbroken human presence aboard the International Space Station since its first crew arrived, updated as of the most recent milestone. This figure increases continuously as long as the ISS remains crewed.

Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
