From time to time, I’ll put together a small side project, mostly to satisfy my own curiosity.
Space Launch Stats
Space Launch Stats is a tool to visualize all orbital rocket launch attempts ever made, from Sputnik to Starship (and counting). Filterable by Agency, Vehicle, Country, and more, with detail pages for each as well.
US Baby Names
When my wife and I were researching names for our daughter, it was easy to find “the most popular N names last year”. But more detail than that is harder to come by. All of the data is available for free from the Social Security Administration, so US Baby Names was … born. Did you know that Mary is the all-time most popular female baby name in the US? I didn’t either until I built this.
