- This is pretty cool. Number of humans in space feels like a good proxy for space progress.
So it would be interesting to have a metrics dashboard view of it.
For example a daily / weekly / monthly graph of how many people are in space during each timeframe.
Filters by company, nationality, age, etc.
Would be an interesting way to see how space progress is being made and where it's mostly coming from.
by alun - This is how I discover China has its own space station.
> When China formally requested to join the ISS program in 2007, Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA) supported cooperation with China, but the Wolf Amendment, enacted by the United States since 2011, prohibited Chinese participation. That same year, China launched Tiangong-1, gaining rendezvous and docking experience.
10 years later, they had a fully operation space station. Say what you will, the Chinese are efficient once they set their mind to something.

Is it really worth the potential of like $1 month if you're rockin the shit out of it, when you can host for free or basically free anywhere these days
Oh I checked whois on one of the IPs and they are using square space. I guess that's why. Gotta recoup something from inexplicably deciding to use squarespace

- > WHO IS IN SPACE is a project created by Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day and Geoff Barrett.
Neat. Destin has a great talk that he gave to/at NASA about Artemis a few years ago.
by darknavi - A good concept, I like it! But pleas make ads less invasive. I understand we all need to pay our bills, but that shouldn't interfere with the user experience. Besides that, I didn't know there were so many guys in space as we speak!by bcorigliano

- Destin of Smarter Every Day went down the drain in my books as soon as he published a video about Flagella, and ended it by suggesting it could be intelligent design and told viewers to read a book authored by someone who is a staunch believer of intelligent design.
Crossed the line as a science Youtuber. You don't need to be athiest to be a scientist, and he definitely isn't. But you should at least know the line.
Finding out this site is basically just a copy of something that already existed and something they knew existed just further degrades my opinion of him. Especially with it being littered with ads. The ad literally takes up half my screen.
