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

> 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.

Maybe you should create whoisinspacewithnoads.com? :D

Yeah warning to mobile users, too. Basically unusable website because of the ads.

I miss the ad free web.

Interesting. I don't see any ads, even with my ad blocker turned off.

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

They remind me of a “face-in-the-hole” board (1) photo.

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

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!
