This is pretty cool: A new record was just set for the most people orbiting Earth at one time.

The 19 people in orbit include the crews of the International Space Station, Soyuz MS-26, Polaris Dawn, and the Tiangong Space Station.

And to think - this milestone would never have been reached had astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams not been stranded in space.

Thanks, Boeing? I guess?
