Mir: built by only one country from the 80s to 200s

Iss: built by all world economic powers

The USSR was the only one with guts to build a space station alone ;).

According to some sources, MIR was meant as a prototype for a Mars ship. USSR had lost the race to Moon, now they wanted to beat USA to Mars. Then USSR collapsed...
