I would love an app like this. I am a frequent user of https://www.boringreport.org/ for news, which does something like what you’re describing but for news articles.

100% agree that this is what it should be called. To argue that big websites being big makes them equivalent to the whole Internet is absurd. Besides, I love the idea of the only recourse to be to go back to independently run information websites.

For the younger generation, social sites are the internet. They open an app on their device, they don't go to sites by searching the web. I've seen people perform a web search in an app store thinking it was the same thing.

Awesome. You don’t happen to have 25 years of recorded telemetry, do you?

Nope, sorry. But I'd try a friendly request to Lightstreamer (they handle the Telemetry feed), or the NASA and ESA public relations offices; they must keep a database somewhere.

Yes and no. I have 7+ years and counting of telemetry recordings but I don't know of a resource that would let me get all of it historically. If you know of one, please let me know. The recordings that I do have will be integrated into the website at some point. I was going to do it as part of the initial launch but I ran out of time.

Very cool! Your idea about auto-generating timelapse videos was taken up by NASA. https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/BeyondThePhotography/CrewEarthObser...

I've always found the timelapse videos from ISS much more interesting than from satellites in geosync at least artistically. The angles are more interesting. I love the ones at night where you can see the city lights, the stars in the background, the Kármán line, auroras, and lightning.

One of the first projects I when I was learning how to be a proper hacker by using curl (at least according to certain states) was from NASA images which I would then turn into timelapse videos as well. I used imagery from SOHO to watch the sun on a weekly basis with a cronjob that would run once a week and deliver a video.

Wow - that's incredible. I can't wait to take a look. Thanks for the pointer.

Hello. NASA person and contributor to the ALSJ here. This is a volunteer effort that is one of the oldest websites on the internet (and most awesome). The original transcripts are public domain, but the commentary here is what’s under some copyright. That said, it’s online for the greater good. I hope you enjoy it.

What’s with this headline? This was a test launch with no payload that wasn’t expected to achieve orbit.

Creator of apolloinrealtime.org here. I work on the ISS program now. Hat’s off, sir.

Apollo in Real Time is an overwhelmingly awesome resource. Thank you.
