Turning NASA Wake-up Calls into data

by @beet_keeper

For 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!

Ho chiesto aiuto ad una persona molto disponibile … dovevo verificare se il #datasette funzionasse , lui mi disse ti impresto il mio #commodore64 …. Poi quando lo ritirai ebbi una sorpresa …. Ovvero quel Commodore mi fu regalato …. 😍. Ora posso testare #misterfpga con un vero Commodore 🤩 #retrocomputer #retroconsole

Geez, I have a #Datasette issue, I keep acquiring them!
Today Fedex dropped off this GE Datasette. They are slow but there is just something about them that fascinates me from the time I saw my 1st one working on a brand new Sinclair 1000 in early 80s all the way up to today.

Heute gibt es den zweiten Teil der Reihe von Wumpus!

Die Reise zu den Space Invaders – Teil 2: Die 64er-Zeit

Dies ist meine Geschichte wie ich zum Computer kam. Es muss schon sehr lange her sein, als ich mich für elektronische Spielereien interessierte, ich sag mal so gegen 1972.

I just found this. A map I drew of the maze in "Hero of the Golden Talisman", a game I played on the #C64 when I was a kid. It was a #datasette game I borrowed from a friend.

No internet, no guides — just squared paper, a couple pencils and a LOT of time.

I should be able to generate a #Datasette Lite URL and a ChatGPT "GPT" bot real soon now :-)

Not all the #PyConUS posters are up yet, but the ones that are look amazing 🤩

I especially like...

@pamelafox - explains vector embedding visually in a way that finally helped tie everything together in my head. I feel like I actually *understand* the core concepts 1000% better now.

@simon - I love the dozens of little photos demonstrating real uses of #datasette. Now I want to explore all the niche museums within driving distance of home!

#Python is applied a mind-boggling variety of ways!

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass das 64'er Magazin auf #Mastodon ist. Super cool! 😎 Merci. 🙏 Direkt mal folgen… 🤣

Ha wie geil, das wollte mein Vater damals unbedingt mal ansehen als er uns einen #c64 mit #datasette gekauft hatte. Ich war damals zu jung um zu verstehen warum ... mal ansehen ...

I aggregated reptiles observation data from #inaturalist, #gbif, #observation and #naturgucker into a sqlite Db. Then I used #Datasette with clustermap plugin to present the data in the working group.
That worked quite well for little efforts. 😎
