nvm, I'm assuming the server was down at some point and it was a 503 error.

#44This is my site! Nothing better than waking up to the front page of HN. And thanks for all the hilarious 503 error jokes. ;) Thanks for the submission.
Couple side notes:
+For those asking about using our data, go for it! We've got a json file you can tap into: http://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/space.json
+We are currently churning along on an iOS app that we are VERY excited about. Think: Notifications every time the number changes plus some cool social content integration.
Anyway, I'm a daily HN reader and honestly this has made my week. Thanks for all the posi vibes!

#45Some people are gonna be really really happy they felt lucky.
Wow, now that I think about it for a moment, I realized no one ever feels lucky these days. As soon as the search bar on Google's homepage is filled, the form is auto submitted.

#46Down for me :( I believe its circa 7 billion, if we only count those humans present on or around our own planet.
In one sense, we're "in space" more so than people on the space station — there are no walls between us and the stars, just a gas that tapers off to zero with us clinging to our rock by the merest force. It gives me vertigo when I try hard to comprehend that.
I think most of us are probably behind several layers of concrete, glass, wood, etc.

I think you posted to the wrong thread. (What thread were you trying to post to?)

#48A few years ago when I was living in China I was told about this, but it never worked. Then on a hunch I fired up my proxy and discovered that the Chinese government was actively censoring it. WHY
Really?! That's crazy to hear especially since we list the Chinese astronauts when they fly just like everyone else!
I'd love to have a screenshot of what the site being blocked looks like.

#49This is just what the lamestream media wants you to think! Wake up sheeple!!!

#50I believe there are 2 Americans in space right now. Speaking of space - in a restricted sense - there are around 2.3 million Americans in prison.
Correct. If you click the image or just scroll down you can see the names.
I have Ghostery, and I just get a big blank page with a "0" on it. I'm assuming the GP has the same.
