Who Goes to Space?

An exploration of astronauts across geography, gender, occupation, and time

Data Source:  Supercluster Astronaut Database

Created for the Fall 2023 Data Visualization and Information Aesthetics course at Parsons, I set out to answer and explore questions about the evolving demographics and roles among the people that go to space. Leveraging Supercluster’s Astronaut Database, this project visualizes variables like astronauts’ gender, occupation, country of origin, and time spent in space. Skills learned through this project include D3.js, data processing methods, design, and visualization.
