Our database wouldn't be nearly as complete or reliable without Jonathan's extensive resources, all available publicly for free.

If you want to support independent tracking of the spaceflight industry and history, this is a great opportunity for it.
Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds.

Hot on the tail 🚀of my solar system sim 🌌, here's another space related script for the @pimoroni.com presto, which shows a T- Countdown for the next space launch with added nebula ambient lighting and pulsing red led 30 minute warning, so you'll never miss a launch again!

GraphQL for SNAPI is out now, go check it out!

No promises, but we'll now also start looking into adding that to the data maze that is LL2 👀
I’m happy to announce the release of The Spaceflight News API 4.17! This release reintroduces GraphQL and adds dark mode support for the admin interface so @arnaud-muller.com doesn’t turn blind.

To get started, go to: api.spaceflightnewsapi.net/v4/graphql
