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

one big AI tell is grid of rounded rects - https://correctarity.com/roundedrects

This 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

Here's the one I use: https://issinfo.net/artemis

The actual Earth and Moon are still not nearly to scale though!

The 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.

thank you, I'll consider that

I recommend https://issinfo.net/artemis over the surge of vibe coded Artemis II trackers. Seen two others so far and they've all had major inaccuracies either regarding trajectory, current distance, or current mission state. One even said the remaining mission time was over 400 days. They all obviously used Claude Code.

Just to be clear one glance and I can tell issinfo.net also used claude code

Pretty cool! This mission has me very excited, but it didn't even occur to me the I could keep track of all this data about it in real time, so thanks for sharing.

BTW, 90% of the comments being about whether this was made with AI or not (and personal opinions on it) is much MUCH worse than it being made with AI. The lack of downvotes for submissions is not an invitation to bring negativity to the comments; if the submission doesn't provide value to you, just move along. Make another post with your opinions on AI and see how many care to read it.

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

Imperial units. I feel dirty now.

What's the joke?

There are two kinds of countries: countries that use metric, and countries who have put a person on the moon.
