    On Friday the 17th of July, the International Space Station population hit a record number. With the docking of Endeavour at 1:47 pm EDT, how many people were on board the station?

    Question #107203. Asked by Incubus_Dreams. (Jul 19 09 8:40 AM)

    The International Space Station is now more crowded than
    it’s ever been before, with a record number of 13 people onboard.

    Besides being the biggest space gathering ever, it was the most diverse: seven Americans, two Russians, two Canadians, one Japanese and one Belgian. Twelve men, one woman. Four medical doctors. And engineers and pilots galore.

    The station doubled in size, people-wise, at the end of May, and this was the first shuttle visit since then. Although 13 people have been in orbit before, they were scattered in separate spacecraft. The old under-the-same-roof crowd record was 10.

    If somebody went on a space-walk upon working on the space station, a very loose example, and then became detached from the station, i.e. floating freely in space, would it be possible for the person to move themselves closer to the Earth or actually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere by some sort of swimming motion, for want of a better expression?
