Almost like being there

We really enjoyed this experience!

Why abandon this app?

Hello, developers so I loved this app for alerts on rocket launches but I few years ago the app stopped working and not giving me any more alerts it just kept saying “launches coming soon” and still to this day it’s like that and this app haven’t been updated 1y ago why did you guys abandon this very good app? I hope the developers will come back for more updates and fixes but for now I can’t really use this app 😢

Nicely done

Well done and great use of AR on the Falcon 9 demonstration. One suggestion: finish a segment and queue the others if one touches multiple points. As there is no was to go backwards.

That was awesome

Just watched my first live launch in AR...and I am impressed. Yes the timing is a little off (~2-5 secs) and the graphics could be improved but this is one of the best examples of the potential of AR. I just watched a rocket launch into space in my living room on a handheld computer...could you have ever guessed you would be able to do that 10 years ago. Magic.

Really cool!

As a child of the 60’s & early 70’s, I grew up with Mercury and Apollo. If this app and related technologies had existed and were widely distributed in schools, there is no way to know how far along we would be in our exploration of space. I believe we would be much farther than we are now.
