Made a little Artemis II tracker for anyone else who is unnecessarily invested in this mission:

For those of us who apparently need a dedicated place to monitor this mission instead of behaving like well-adjusted people.

This is cool! NASA uses Imperial units (well, unless the it's the Mars Climate Orbiter). Can we get a version that follows the units they are using with their public feeds?

Bless! Absolutely love this, and an absolutely no disrespect, this is vibe code goodness! These are the kinds of things I have an absolute ball building, usually when I’m sitting on the couch at the end of the day duel screening.

What’s the data source? Assuming NASA being NASA they have a public API for the mission?

To me, what's super interesting about this is the fact that my brain instantly recognized it's AI coded (not sure why, it might be the spacing, the font, the text glow, etc.).

The First thought that came to mind was It's AI coded. Maybe it's because they follow a similar design pattern. Or maybe we have some supernatural powers

This is cool! I do want to ask, did you have AI design the page for you? It looks like a design pattern I've seen spit out by LLMs pretty frequently.

I'm not hear to talk down to you about the site, I love this little thing that gives me just enough info to satisfy my curiosity.
