so i wanted to build something that combined two things i actually care about — coding and space. ended up making a slack bot called Zenith that pulls live data from NASA and SpaceX through slash commands.

commands i built

/zenith-ping — check if bot is alive
/zenith-apod — NASA astronomy picture of the day
/zenith-iss — live ISS location with google maps link
/zenith-spacex — latest SpaceX launch info
/zenith-nextlaunch — next upcoming launch + countdown
/zenith-mars — latest Mars rover photo
/zenith-astronauts — who is in space right now
/zenith-asteroids — near Earth asteroids today
/zenith-space-report — quick space summary
/zenith-planet [name] — facts about any planet
/zenith-help — show all commands
