New Delhi: For some philosophers, poets, and lovers, love might be the only expensive thing in the world. But when it comes to the most expensive things ever created by humans, the rich and elite often look towards prized possessions like Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi or the Bugatti La Voiture Noire. But what if we tell you the most expensive man-made object isn’t even on Earth—it’s floating in space, the International Space Station (ISS).

The most expensive man-made object, i.e. International Space Station (ISS) costs over $100 billion. According to the Guinness World Records, the International Space Station (ISS) is the most expensive man-made object. “The most expensive man-made object is the International Space Station (ISS). Its final cost will be over $100 billion (£66.7 billion),” reads the official website of Guinness World Records.

What is the International Space Station (ISS)?

The International Space Station (ISS) stands as a testament to decades of human innovation and global collaboration. In the early 1980s, NASA initially planned to launch a modular space station called Freedom, aimed at competing with Soviet stations like Salyut and Mir. However, the project soon became too ambitious for a single nation to undertake. This led to a partnership with other space agencies, including Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada), transforming the ISS into a global endeavor.

On, November 20, 1998, the ISS was launched into space. It primarily functions as to act as a staging ground for future space missions to the Moon, Mars, and asteroids.
