It blows my mind that I was able to "code" a 3D simulator of the Artemis II mission flight in just a few hours, and it’s better than NASA's own. LINK IN THE NEXT POST 👇 It even matches Earth's rotation and the day/night cycle perfectly in real time. And when you move the time slider, the Earth rotates accordingly. You can check it against the actual time yourself if you want. It uses your browser’s local time, by the way. And everything is textured: the Moon, the Earth, even a 3D model of the spacecraft. On top of that, the ship's 3D trajectory is spot on, using NASA's official f*cking REAL TIME spacecraft data so you can see exactly where it is at any moment. And all of this without writing a single line of code. Claude even made the GitHub project, the description, everything. I’ll share more details in the next tweet. Absolutely insane. I still haven't gotten used to this new normal.
