Wrong NUMBER_OF_PEOPLE_IN_SPACE returned

Open AndreyKopeyko opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

I checked now astros.json and see that it doesn't count Chinese taikonauts as human beings being in space right now. :-(

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangong_space_station#Crewed_missions from 2024-04-25 we have 3 more humans in near Earth space.

So, the correct NUMBER_OF_PEOPLE_IN_SPACE should be 10 for today.

Can you please take Chinese into account too? I would like to have a precise data source for my pet project.

@AndreyKopeyko

I think that at the moment the project is dead :(

Seems like this issue was fixed silently - now I can see 3 taikonauts in astros.json output
