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!

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?

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

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.

The helmet portraits look goofy as hell.

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

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

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