Ok I was the the tech lead and a flight controller at NASA with the team that released this telemetry as part of Isslive which this api (used by ISS mimic) used - we spent a number of years educating the public about the space station program https://youtu.be/xAhw_8B25N0?si=OZXH9sZ0bY_iX40V https://youtu.be/xAhw_8B25N0?si=OZXH9sZ0bY_iX40V And now 12 years later we have PissStream.. haha lol that is a bit funny.. good to see our livestream server is being put to good use - lots of other good telemetry though :) I love ISSMimic

I am not sorry and I will do it again. But on a more serious note, while my use of live ISS telemetry is probably about as maximally frivolous as can get, it's nothing short of amazing that this sort of abject silliness is not only possible but actually trivial to pull off. So hats off to you and the rest of the hard-working folks at NASA (et al) who made it possible in the first place. And yes there's definitely all kinds of interesting telemetry available from the ISS. Seeing the dashboard that the ISS mimic project has was quite an eye-opener

  Thousands of people are today learning about these metrics thanks to your funny project. And from that, someone else will also make something cool and useful.

    I'm going to add "science communicator" to my résumé. But yes, the app may be a joke but at least there's something there beneath the joke.

  In jest but this is a good example of how spending a bit of time on APIs and metrics and so on is buying an option on creativity in the future

I was wondering, when the ISS will finally be shut down and destroyed, will the telemetry stream run until the very end? In that case, I’m going to wait in front of the terminal for that last farewell of the station when the time comes…

It's funny how the music reminds me of the Star Trek Voyager Theme, and yet it is not the same music :D
