When debugging, this is error I get.

jquery.js:491 Uncaught TypeError: jQuery.each is not a function at jquery.js:491 at jquery.js:36 at jquery.js:40 (anonymous) @ jquery.js:491 (anonymous) @ jquery.js:36 (anonymous) @ jquery.js:40 ial.js:164 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined at ial.js:164 (anonymous) @ ial.js:164 csl.parser.js:2044 Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined at csl.parser.js:2044 (anonymous) @ csl.parser.js:2044 extension.js:21 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'init' of undefined at Object.init (extension.js:21) at extension.js:45 at extension.js:48 init @ extension.js:21 (anonymous) @ extension.js:45 (anonymous) @ extension.js:48 callbacks.js:13 Uncaught TypeError: callback is not a function at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload

Not sure why it is saying callback is not a function. It seems there is something wrong with the requested data coming from Wikipedia or astroURL.

Error messages are generally only useful when the code can be referenced, please also show the code.
Be sure to use Markdown formatting lor make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

The snapshot allowed me to replicate the issue and find it. :+1:

So on line 31 of "callbacks.js", there's an extra closing parenthesis, probably just a typo.

FIxed it, but still get error with only 2 astronauts. I get a 404 file not found error.

That's not your program's fault. The API is listing a 3rd person as "Anatoly Ivanishin" (with a "y"), but the corresponding info page is under the name "Anatoli Ivanishin" (with an "i").

For a bonus exercise, you might try adding some code to make errors in looking up details a bit more graceful (like display the name and a "friendly" error message).
