Turning NASA Wake-up Calls into data
by @beet_keeperFor a while back then I was into space flight again. Scientists, science communicators, and engineers were all excited for a new era of rocket launches and the potential unification of the human race as we look towards the future.
During that time I discovered Colin Fries’ work in the NASA History Division to document all NASA “Wake-up calls”. A wake-up call is simply a piece of music used to wake astronauts on missions, a different piece of music, daily, for the duration of the flight.
Take, for example, the last Space Shuttle mission (Space Transportation System) STS-135; it was in flight for 13 days, and the wake-up call on day one was Coldplay’s Viva la Vida, while on day 13 it was Kate Smith singing God Bless America.
As a huge music buff who has the radio or music television on 18 hours a day, I really wanted to delve into this further. While Colin’s work is great, it’s just a PDF file (@wtfpdf). A PDF is not an ideal file format for querying data and gleaning new insights. So, while I wanted to explore it, I first decided to turn it into a true dataset. The result was a set of resources, a website, a JSON, a CSV, and an SQLite database which are each more functional and more maintainable over time.
Lets take a look at the results and https://nasawakeupcalls.github.io below!

Async Bottom-Up Javascript State Management
https://positive-intentions.com/blog/async-state-management
This investigation comes from my work on a #P2P #ChatApp. I found it tricky in a #FunctionalProgramming approach to handle #Async #Messages from peers needing the latest #State values. The challenge? How #JavaScript scopes variables in #Callbacks.
I wanted to explore a solution out of curiosity to see if it could work. I'm not trying to push "yet another #StateManagement library." This is about my #LearningProcess for use in #PersonalProjects.
