    New World Record Set With 19 Humans In Earth Orbit At The Same Time IFLScience, 12 Sep 2024 13:31Z


    Yes, indeed,, and Lynn McGuire gives this count:

    From one of my buddies:

    “If I'm counting correctly, there are a record 19 people in space right
    now.
    There is the normal 7 person ISS crew,
    the two astronauts that flew to ISS on the Boeing Starliner test flight,
    the three who just arrived on ISS via the Russian Soyuz for a standard
    crew rotation,
    the four commercial astronauts on the Polaris Dawn Dragon mission, and
    the three crew on the Chinese space station.
    That's 7 + 2 + 3 + 4 +3 = 19.”

    Amazing. Maybe we will hit 100 in the next ten years.

    Hmm! I had been wondering about the ISS. When showing the Boeing
    Starliner crew now stuck on the ISS, there are ONLY ever the two
    Starliner Astronauts shown, so I thought they were the ONLY people on
    the ISS a.t.m. .... but it would seem there are NINE on the ISS!!
