Day 8: Blue – Citizenship of People Who Have Traveled to Space

Countries with Citizens Who Have Traveled to Space

Today’s map theme is blue. For my map, I decided to show countries that have had citizens travel to space. While only three countries, including China, Russia (and the former USSR), and the United States, have launched humans into space, citizens from a total of 42 countries have made the journey. Seeing the world without political borders.
