Though most don't stay more than a few months up there.

also who would stay more than 6 months in space? a journey to mars takes about 6 months on the most fuel-efficient trajectory.

due to how weird orbital mechanics are, there's one (and only this one) most fuel-efficient trajectory between earth and mars and it's the so-called Hohmann Transfer Orbit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohmann_transfer_orbit ). It takes 6 months.
