As Neo says:
Woo...

thats cool and all but its a shame that you can only view a limited amount of details on only a select few, but very cool through =]

The navigation was far more annoying than it should have been

Cool Concept.
Horrible implementation.

The Flash presentation and, cough, "designer" should have been blasted into space!

Very good idea.....but horrible presentation....

It scrolls in the wrong direction, totally opposite to conventional click & drag

Cool. Be prepared to see an end to the space program if Obama is elected.

Good info, but trying not to be too picky there are a lot of launches missing. If the navigation and data can be improved it will be truly great.

I want to zoom out!!!

Wow, could they have made the interface any more annoying? However, great idea.

Aww, no SpaceShipOne? I mean it was only the first ship to bring a man past the edge of space by purely private means, but still.

Nice idea - but only within the context of public knowledge of space.

Doesn't cover -
1.) the 4th astronaut in the Apollo 1 fire,
2.) the many thousands of contacts with ET life in and around this planet,
3.) the "real" space program that is currently hidden (codenamed "Solar Warden") and which ferries supplies to and from our current populated Mars base (yes, there is indeed a base on Mars, even though "Alternative 3" was of course a hoax)
4.) Developments in Earth-produced anti grav flying discs (etc) as a result of 2.)
5.) Numerous artificial structures on the Moon and Mars which have been investigated by Nasa and the military etc.
6.) Planet X which is on it's way back to the solar system
7.) Human travel beyond the solar system (there's multiple solid rumours of a friendly human/ET exchange program that was going on during the 80's - and yes, most of the officers involved did return.)

I expect to be dugg down, but that doesn't change the truth of these matters. I expect to be asked for proof, but hope you will do your own research, and not just take my word for it.

Cheers!

What's the whole distance from earth thing about?

The space shuttle sure hasn't traveled 100,000 miles from earth... neither has the space stations.

If the flash developer is reading the comments here are some hints for a better user experience.

Make the width of the flash player dynamic based on the browser window size. This way you can maximize the viewable area.
Add acceleration to the scrolling or better yet get rid of the scrolling and create better interaction.
Create a minimap on the lower right corner of the player so users know where they are while scrolling the map.
Use a small pixel font for the key. Looks like crap on a hi res monitor.

damn, I thought this said lunch in space, I was much less impressed when I found out it was really Launch. :/

Much better example of how to present a timeline:

This doesnt cover the spaceships from dem ayleeuhns

Velly Intellesting!!!! It looks like the interface has too many things under OTHER......... but it was still fun...
