    Yes, indeed,, and Lynn McGuire gives this count:

    From one of my buddies:

    rCLIf 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.rCY

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

    Hmm! I had been wondering about the ISS. When showing the Boeing
    Starliner crew now stuck on the ISS, there are ONLY ever the two
    Starliner Astronauts shown, so I thought they were the ONLY people on
    the ISS a.t.m. .... but it would seem there are NINE on the ISS!!

    Crew on the ISS varies but the aim is to have 3-6 people
    on board at all times. The current ~6m "Expedition 71" is 7.
    The other 2 are stranded tourists that are have apparently
    been earning their keep cleaning toilets.
