 From one of my buddies:

“If I'm counting correctly, there are a record 19 people in space right 
now.  There is the normal 7 person ISS crew, the two astronauts that 
flew to ISS on the Boeing Starliner test flight, the three who just 
arrived on ISS via the Russian Soyuz for a standard crew rotation, the 
four commercial astronauts on the Polaris Dawn Dragon mission, and the 
three crew on the Chinese space station.  That's 7 + 2 + 3 + 4 +3 = 19.”

Amazing.  Maybe we will hit 100 in the next ten years.
