April 2001: Record population in space?
Monday, Apr 30, 2001
So I haven't read anything to this effect, but from last Saturday through this Tuesday there are seven astronauts on the Endeavour Shuttle, three in the International Space Station, and three in the Soyuz capsule. I don't know this for a fact, but it seems likely to me that thirteen people is the highest number ever in space at the same time (alien abductions notwithstanding ).

Can anyone corroborate this? I'm surprised that in a society that keeps track of the most trivial sporting statistics, this kind of record could go unnoticed.

If you like it, please share it.
