What’s the data source? Assuming NASA being NASA they have a public API for the mission?
I'm not hear to talk down to you about the site, I love this little thing that gives me just enough info to satisfy my curiosity.
I'm not necessarily against people sharing AI generated projects but there almost needs to be an [AI] tag if they do because it's really crashing the excitement of seeing a Show HN post where the assumption is this is something someone has been working hard on and is proud to show it off rather than something they just got out of Claude or whatever after a few prompts.
My take: If you didn't spend at least 24 hours of your own time (i.e. not munging with what the LLM is outputting but dedicated time for your own edits/testing) then it shouldn't qualify as a normal Show HN.

Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.
It has "Distance From Earth" at 44,096 km (converted from miles...,) as opposed to 158,000 km. So yes, far off.
False scale gives a direct way to see which body is which and where the craft is between them without having to work it out backwards from the rest of the context (while real scale makes both sides just looks like dots on typical sized screens and you need to know/read the rest before you can figure out which is which otherwise).
Combine that with "the scale of the Earth is already too large to comprehend accurately anyways" and defaulting to real scale doesn't really add as much as one might think to the experience anyways.
The trajectory depicted has them hitting the moon; it should instead show them passing 2+ lunar diameters behind the moon.
