 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.
