Here is something wonderful. Hank Green took all the amazing photos (previously) shot for the Artemis II mission, combined them with the schedule provided by NASA, and made an interactive timeline of it all. It is really quite nice. It is also a tribute to publicly available data. Though the timeline includes some videos published to Instagram and YouTube, the vast majority are images from Flickr. NASA usually uploads them with EXIF data intact, and Flickr preserves it. NASA also provided the mission schedule and, even better, has a public API for the position of the Orion spacecraft at any given time. Which means Green was also able to correlate the photos with where they were taken along the craft’s trajectory. ⌥ Permalink
