  It 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.

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

  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.).

  A few more trackers:https://artemistracker.com/https://artemislivetracker.com/https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.

  I 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.

  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

  The closest they get to the moon is about 8000km/5000 miles above the surface over the far sideThe trajectory depicted has them hitting the moon; it should instead show them passing 2+ lunar diameters behind the moon.

  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?

  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.

  Is the MET right? They launched about 29 hours ago but it says 1d18h

  This got vibed coded AF
• desireco42
  Did they not just launch yesterday and they are already half way there? Am I wrong?
• arnav7717
  very cool! How did you get the data?
• jamesbfb
  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?

  Nice job

  Nice, thanks.
