Is there a long-term graph of this? I believe the number has been nonzero since 2000, and wanted to see how it's changed over time.

- kristianp 9y agoHere's one up to 2014: http://www.arcaneknowledge.org/science/spaceflt.htm http://www.arcaneknowledge.org/science/spaceflt.htm Number of living humans who have walked on another world: https://xkcd.com/893/ https://xkcd.com/893/
- kristopolous 9y agoso it looks like on average it's roughly doubling about every 15 years?
- zeristor 9y agoSo the most number of humans in space is 11, which has happened a number of times.
- princetman 9y agoMost number of humans in space is 13 according the graph in the link. You must be looking at second graph, most numbers of Americans in space at a time is 11.
- yuvalr1 9y agoMost number of Americans in space is actually 10 according to second graph :)
- yuvalr1 9y agolooks like 13, at least according to the arcaneknowledge link
- jrimbault 9y agoThe xkcd graph is kind of sad.
- Bromskloss 9y ago> world [Gumble, grumble, …] I think the Earth, the Moon, and the rest of the universe count as the same world.

- nkoren 9y agoBack in the 1990s, I maintained a "Population of Space" page which showed exactly this. To my knowledge, nothing like it exists anymore, which is a shame. I occasionally think about recreating it, just as soon as the day job leaves me some time... [Edit: oh cool, there's something kinda like it in the sibling comment! Mine was different, showing a less granular graph wth the population averaged out on a yearly basis. But it also included a table of all missions and notable events affecting trends in the population of space.]
