That's awesome. Over a decade of continuous habitation in space. As an old SF fan, I really still find things like that to be wonderful. I mean in the original meaning of "wonderful," as in "to be full of wonder," or "to cause a sense of wonderment." I remember when Voyager first passed the heliopause. I walked around in a daze for hours. We, the human race, were now an interstellar species.

Actually, it's over *two* decades. There are people voting today who were born after we crewed the ISS.

I usually see this worded as "this was the last day all living humans were on Earth at the same time."
