New record for the most people in space at the same time:

When the Shenzhou 16 taikonauts reached space, they helped set a new record for the most people in orbit at the same time. Including the six members of the Shenzhou 15 and 16 crews, the six Expedition 69 astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station and the four members of the Axiom Space Ax-2 crew, there were 17 people circling Earth, three more than the prior record of 14.

On May 25, 2023, there were 20 people in space at the same time, but not all were in orbit. That record included three Chinese taikonauts, 11 astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station and six people aboard a suborbital launch of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo.
