Ross SpencerTurning 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!

Misinformation-SuperhighwaymanMe: This data is important and cannot be re-created if lost, so in addition to making a local NAS copy I'm gonna do a backup in the cloud.
Computer: Okay.
Me: Progress-bar is taking ages to progress. I'll let it run and do something else with my time.
Computer: Computer-touching has stopped so I'll go to sleep.
Me:
Computer: Huh? Why'd you wake me up?
Me: Only 80GB to go. You can do this.
Computer: Zzzz.
Me: Sneakernet is starting to look like a viable option.

N-gated Hacker NewsOh, the endless saga of trying to bridge the gap between #Excel and #Markdown 😩. Apparently, the internet gods have decided that converting tables is a task only for the truly worthy—or those with a spare afternoon to wrestle with server errors 🤦♂️. Meanwhile, your data waits, trapped in spreadsheet purgatory.

Copy Table in Excel and Paste as a Markdown Table | thisDaveJ
Copy a table from Excel or Google Sheets and paste it into the text box below to create a Markdown table. This online tool is made possible by Jonathan Hoyt’s innovative copy-excel-paste-markdown code. I’ve also modified his code to create a version that supports column alignments as explained below. Here are the steps: In Excel or Google Sheets, select a range of cells and press Ctrl+C to copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) into the text box below to create a Markdown table. Additional Notes If your table is wide, the resulting text in the text box will appear to be wrapped and misaligned; however, everything will align properly when you copy it Read More
