Title: Add PeopleInSpace

# Spice Pull Request

**What does your instant answer do?**
Shows the number of people currently in space, and lists their names, titles, and links to biographies.

**What problem does your instant answer solve (Why is it better than organic links)?**
It shows information that would not be available without following a link.

**What is the data source for your instant answer? (Provide a link if possible)**
http://howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/space.json

**Why did you choose this data source?**
It is extremely relevant and appears to be reliable.

**Are there any other alternative (better) data sources?**
None known

**What are some example queries that trigger this instant answer?**
``number of people in space``, ``people in orbit right now``

**Which communities will this instant answer be especially useful for? (gamers, book lovers, etc)**
People interested in space

**Is this instant answer connected to a DuckDuckHack [instant answer idea](https://duck.co/ideas)?**
https://duck.co/ideas/idea/313/how-many-people-are-in-space-now

**Which existing instant answers will this one supersede/overlap with?**
None known

**Are you having any problems? Do you need our help with anything?**
A regexp trigger could respond to a wider variety of natural language questions, but I'm not sure it's worth the expense for an instant answer like this one with very narrow applicability.
