Looks like volcanos are provided by a giant static JSON file. I'm curious, where/how was this data compiled? Regardless, very cool.

Happens on Chrome as well. Approve location permissions and refresh.

I should have been more clear. By "congestion", I was not just considering the number of satellites, but the number of artificial objects in total regardless of size, which by many estimates is in the millions.

That's absolutely true. However, even then, space debris is already a major concern[0], and let's not forget the recent debacle with the ESA[1]. What happens when you pump 30,000 more satellites up there? [0]: https://o

210, 340, & 710 miles are all considered LEO.

It would be silly to think this will actually come to fruition - 30k satellites would represent a 3000% increase in the number of active satellites in LEO, which is already by far the most congested orbital altitude. That said, it would be

Very cool, thanks. Do you know if they operate in the United States?

Yea, I have been following Monzo for some time. My understanding is that they originally had big plans for their API, but pulled back on development of it as they got more popular. It looks like it still has a lot of restrictions.

Are there any challenger banks with an API? I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with one but it seems like a neat idea.

The former.

What is the very bright object with a bluish hue in the top left?

Hey, thanks for the response. Instead of spinosaurus.co vs spinosaurus.com, a better comparison akin to the two names i'm contemplating would be something like "eagle.co" vs "bluetable.com". In other words, a simple

Is a one word .co domain worth a few thousand dollars?

Keep in mind that the boosters flip around and initiate a burn to get back over land. As far as i'm aware, the core maintains a primarily ballistic trajectory and thus lands out in the ocean.

What would you do with an API that can't already be done? I understand the hesitancy of giving a third party such as Plaid your bank credentials, however an exposed API to your bank seems to be a rather niche need. As an example, Monzo

Is this suppose to be public?
