Ratings and Reviews
Fix the Bios
The astronaut biographies are wrong. Dough Hurley is clearly a distinguished test pilot but he was not the “1st person to ever fly an F-18.” That’d be pretty amazing since he is 53 and the F/A-18 first flew in ‘78. He was the first *Marine* to fly the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. Still pretty cool but not quite the same. He’s also the first to command the Crew Dragon. Good that the number was bumped to 5 in a timely manner. Looking forward to seeing double digits.
Confusing information
The “time in space” for each astronaut is their overall time in space, not how long their current mission is. This is misleading and confusing to the average citizen. The “time in space” should reflect only the current mission. Otherwise it appears like people have been in space for over 3 years which is just not true! And please connect the astronauts’ bios to something other than Wikipedia. A nice app to find out the number of people in space, but otherwise it is lacking.
Only astronauts on International Space Station
Only astronauts on the International Space Station are included. Chinese astronauts are not included in the count. So it’s not an authentic count of actual people in space right now.
Update: This issue was fixed! Thank you for listening and updating the app!
