I was only able to retrieve 3 of the 6 astronauts. This is what my page page looks like:

I had the same issue when I did it. I found that it is due to those astronauts not having a complete record come through from the Wikipedia API. I tweaked a bit the function so that it didn't show only the blank tile. See below how I added the HTML in an if statement and the else part is what creates the tile for astronauts who don't have a complete record coming through from the wiki API.
Have a look at my code below and see if it works for you. And let us know if it does!
Cheers, Daniel.
// Generate the markup for each profile
function generateHTML(data) {
const section = document.createElement('section');
peopleList.appendChild(section);
if (data.type === "standard") {
section.innerHTML = `
<img src=${data.thumbnail.source}>
<h2>${data.title}</h2>
<p>${data.description}</p>
<p>${data.extract}</p>
`;
} else {
section.innerHTML = `
<h2>${data.title}</h2>
<p>No description available</p>
`;
}
}

data.map( person => {
const section = document.createElement('section');
peopleList.appendChild(section);
section.innerHTML = `
<img src=${person.thumbnail.source}>
<h2>${person.title}</h2>
<p>${person.description}</p>
<p>${person.extract}</p>
`;
});
}
This doesn't work when the first astronaut fails to load, so using the @Daniel Barros 's code will fix the problem. +++
