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.

Reminds me of the original: https://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/

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!

> 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.

This website is unusable without closing out advertisements upon advertisements...

Jeezus h the ads ruin it W H Y

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

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.

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.

Lai Ka-Ying. Nominative determinism!

Didn’t know humans are spending that much time in space, over a year wow! I guess they need to workout daily to keep the muscles intact?

Anyone else read this as WHOIS in space? Was ready to find out which TLDs had Galactic Coordinates for contact details

Safari on MacBook Pro sees the time text wrapping in such a way that when the time is pushed to the next line, it literally overlaps partly with the "Total Time in space" label. The time is halfway up the letters of the label.

And these are the biggest ads I've seen obscuring a webpage in a very long time!

this is spam. not in a derogatory way, but in a literal way.

not enough ads, i could almost see the content

Shatner was the 597th person in space only five years ago. We are rapidly increasing the frequency new folks are making it into space. Impressive!

neat

adding it to my collection next to

bit grusome but would be interesting to compare known time in space against increased cancer and eyesight problems that all the astronauts seem to come back with

I believe longest time in spacewalk was 9 hours but they spent 22 hours outside the capsule during the three days on the moon

cosmic rays are a b*tch

That’s cool, anyone know when the timer starts for mission start? Is it when they step into their shuttle?

Who is in space? Well, Tim Curry of course!

This is better than the Magic 8-ball. I DO like the visuals after clicking the Magic 8-ball though!

Morbid curiosity: Are there any deceased individuals whose bodies were not recovered from space?

whois in space? what about RDAP in space?

Chinese and Russian space suits are almost identical in the photos!

The helmet portraits look goofy as hell.

Call me crazy... but there's something about their faces. Almost like all of them are brothers and sisters. Creepy in a way.

Whole website for an ad btw

^

The adsense on this site annoys me. It's run by Dustin from Smarter Every Day (at least it was in 2023 https://x.com/smartereveryday/status/1631364605426511872). In the past, the site did not serve ads.

We’re all in space bro

Those SpaceX suit photos look dumb. I very much prefer the traditional look of the Russian and Chinese crew photos.

Those Russians could get as far as they could from the stench of Putin and his genocidal war.

I guess we’re doxxing people now
