#12I don’t think the current position of Orion is accurate. It shows them about halfway to the moon, but they’re just leaving Earth orbit right now.
Re: Show HN: Made a little Artemis II tracker
#13It says the distance from Earth right now is 154,000km, but the other trackers, including NASA, say 30,000km (numbers rounded). The velocity is different as well, 7km/s vs NASA's 4km/s.

#14Is the MET right? They launched about 29 hours ago but it says 1d18h
Re: Show HN: Made a little Artemis II tracker
#15This has always been a peeve of mine, but the lack of scale diagrams in coverage of this is maddening. We know what the Earth and the Moon look like, there is no need to make them 20 times bigger. Surely the point of these diagrams is to show the unbelievable scale of the journey. I'm yet to see one this news cycle, from NASA or anyone else

Someone should make a website or project and post it on HN, and then set up an AI agent takes the top comments and just implements them.

#17To 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.).
Claude always makes sites look this way.

#18Here's the official one, presumably with correct data: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/

The NASA app is here: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/
It has "Distance From Earth" at 44,096 km (converted from miles...,) as opposed to 158,000 km. So yes, far off.
Re: Show HN: Made a little Artemis II tracker
#20The closest they get to the moon is about 8000km/5000 miles above the surface over the far side
The trajectory depicted has them hitting the moon; it should instead show them passing 2+ lunar diameters behind the moon.
