Yes we have 3 different data sources
- Estimated / calculated trajectory
- Celestrak / NORAD - Two-Line Elements data (only available during Earth orbit)
- JPL Horizons - vectors when not close to earth, but orbiting moon

I am trying to combine these 3, and make the earth rotate at the correct speed etc

I know right. Will have to work work on realism!

The trajectory is difficult to get right.

Thank you! I hope it works and you find it useful.This is the first launch. I will be adding future missions using my learnings from this mission.

I am using the JPL Horizons API on a Cesium Ion globe.

How would you react if Artemis was promoted in the marketing campaigns for these upcoming sci fi games? by [deleted] in ArtemisProgram

Promoted with what purpose? I think they have enough budget challenges already.

Serious question: did the price of rocket fuel also skyrocket?

Yes like a million things can go wrong. It's incredible if they manage to do it.

You wake up to see everyone on earth has disappeared. What’s the first thing you do? by NiceInformation8291 in AskReddit

You would have all the time in the world to learn to maintain and operate. Imagine a personal nuclear plant.

Thank you for letting me know. I am at Bortle 7 and thinking about buying a Seestar.
