## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability people-in-space-now-e31c56f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Who is currently in space right now — can you give me the full list of astronauts and which spacecraft they're on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an instant, no-parameter lookup of who is currently in space and on which spacecraft. Ideal for real-time dashboards, trivia bots, educational tools, or any agent query about current space occupancy without needing historical or future mission data.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Open Notify API is unavailable, causing a 502 or timeout
- Stale data if Open Notify feed has not updated recently
- Empty crew list during rare gaps between missions

## How this service works

Live roster of every astronaut currently in space and their spacecraft from Open Notify; no params. Returns JSON.
