We will be telling you some facts about the current ISS members: Timothy Peake: Born in Chichester, England, on 7 April 1972, Tim is married with two sons. He has also completed the London Marathon. Other interests include quantum physics and piloting. Scott Joseph Kelly (born February 21, 1964) is an American astronaut, engineer and a retired U.S. Navy Captain.

At this moment in time these people are the only people in Space at the moment.

Meteorite: a piece of rock or metal that has fallen to the ground from outer space : a meteor that reaches the surface of the Earth without burning up entirely Lander: a space vehicle that is designed to land on a celestial body (as the moon or a planet).

SO THE ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION IS YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
