Just added bunch of details from the @@cdnspace @mstdn.ca api, including antenna and solar panel positions of the craft. Check it out. https://artemis-tracker.netlify.app/

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
