As you can see on the site right now, the number of people in space right now is ten. For those of us that follow spaceflight, the most exciting day was when, for a few minutes, there were TWENTY. That is a record for all of humanity. We've never had that many in space at once ever.

    Jan 26 2024

    "For a few minutes on Jan. 26, 20 people were in space at the same time. The International Space Station (ISS) hosted 11 of them — seven long-term crewmembers and four visitors on the private Ax-3 mission — and three occupied China's Tiangong space station.

    The other six were aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity space plane, which reached suborbital space on the company's Galactic 06 mission. Four of those six were passengers, while two were piloting Unity on Galactic 06, which lasted about an hour from liftoff to touchdown. "

    Step 2: Send all the billionaires to space. Involuntarily if needed.

    Step 3: Remember Apollo 13? Yeah. That. Except instead of a concerned Houston control room doing everything they can to bring the billionaires back, we instead fill the control room with 3 year olds, and don't tell them anything about not touching buttons. Let them go nuts. Touch all the buttons randomly. The tech crew can go to lunch.

    Call it "Project Luigi".

    Interesting, there's people who basically live full time up there, for 1-2 years at a time.

    Jesus no one can have any privacy any more eh? Maybe I want to take a short trip to space to take a shit? And while I'm up in the stars blasting out my asteroid, anyone can just look up where I'm at thanks to this website, eh? What's the galaxy coming to?
