Will over 1000 people live permanently outside Earth's atmosphere by 2050?

·Science and Technology

The question resolves to YES if on January 1 2050 there are at least 1001 persons outside Earth's atmosphere. Each of them should have either spent or be intended to spend more than one year in space. Here, the terms 'in space' and 'outside Earth's atmosphere' refer to locations beyond a sphere with a radius of 6471 km from Earth's center. Therefore, locations like low orbit, the Moon, and Mars qualify as 'YES,' while underground and underwater locations do not meet the criteria.
