Ex-Space is a website where you can see everything relating to space
Ship #1
I made Ex Space it's a website that is basically a collection of different space-related APIs. There's an ISS API that pulls live data about the International Space Station like its location and crew info, and there are a few other space APIs as well. All of it is bundled together so anyone can easily access space data from one place. It was a pretty challenging build but it's just a simple side project focused on making space data accessible.

Devlog 1 – Mission Control
I spent the last two hours turning the project into something that actually feels like a real mission control center. My original idea was to lean into a space theme, and that quickly snowballed into adding way more features than I had planned (as these things usually do).
While searching for APIs, I found an awesome one that tracks the International Space Station in real time. Of course, I had to add it. The website now shows the ISS’s live location on a map, so you can see exactly where it’s flying over Earth. Then I found another API that lists everyone currently in space, because if we’re building mission control, we should probably know who’s on the mission. Finally, I added launch data so you can keep up with upcoming and recent space missions.
The homepage is now set up like a proper Mission Control dashboard, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Everything is connected and working together surprisingly well. There are still a few tiny bugs hiding in the code somewhere, but they’re nothing a little debugging can’t solve.
