The International Space Station and all satellites reflect light from the sun towards Earth. If the light is being directed towards where you are they look very bright. As the International Space Station is the largest object orbiting around the Earth, it reflects more light than anything else so it can look the brightest.

What direction is the space station?
If you mean which direction do I look to see the Space Station the answer is it depends. The Space Station is orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour so it's not going to appear stationary. You cannot see the Space Station during the daytime because the sky is too bright, and you cannot see it in the middle of the night because it's too close to the Earth to catch any reflected light from the sun. Which leaves right before sunrise and right after sunset as the only viewing opportunities and of course it has to be in your area. NASA has a website where you can findout what's visible from your location and when

How do astronauts work on the Space Station without drifting into space?
The astronauts wear tethers whenever they exit the space station so that they remain attached to the station. Otherwise, without sufficient gravity to keep them close by, they could easily drift away into space.
How long to get to space station by space shuttle?
Because the space station is in such a bad orbit for US spacecraft to launch to, it takes about 2 days in space for the shuttle to rendevous with the space station. The space station was built by the US & Russians, spacecraft from both countries had to be able to send supplies up on a regular basis, so the orbit of the ISS is difficult for the shuttle to reach.
