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

Yes! That’s what I was hoping for when I clicked on it, too!

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!

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!

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?

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?

I don't think so. So far all fatalities [0] happened either during launch or during launch or during landing. The only fatal incident that happened technically still in space (above the Kármán line) is Soyuz 11 [1], but it happened after the landing sequence was already started, so the capsule landed normally, just with the dead crew.

It appears that just hanging out in the orbit is relatively safe, going up there and going down is risky.

Same with aircraft, btw, most accidents happen during take-off, shortly after take-off or during landing. Cruising at a stable altitude is very safe.
