The Standard

About & Sources

What this is, where every number comes from, and what we refuse to fake

What Everything Space Is

Everything Space is one product in two places — an iOS app and this site — built to be the place you go for spaceflight: what is happening right now, what is worth reading today, and the knowledge that lasts. The globe on our front page shows the real terminator, the real ISS, and the real next launch pad. The countdowns are the real clocks. The discussions are real members. That is the entire idea.

Where Every Number Comes From

Values we calculate ourselves — moon phase, meteor-shower windows, the terminator, ISS pass predictions — are labeled computed wherever they appear.

What We Refuse to Fake

No invented numbers

If a value is not sourced or computed, it does not appear. Unknown stays unknown.

No fake liveness

Nothing is labeled LIVE unless the source says the broadcast is live right now.

No fabricated popularity

We show no trending lists, read counts, or engagement metrics we do not actually measure.

No manufactured activity

Every community post and reply is a real, signed-in member. Empty threads say so.

Failure states tell the truth

When a data source is unreachable, the page says exactly that — nothing is quietly substituted.

Who This Is For

Researchers and educators

Every fact traces to its source or its formula, entity pages carry ready-made citations with retrieval dates, and nothing on this site is invented — safe to put in front of a classroom.

Students and enthusiasts

Launch schedules, live telemetry, and the full reporting wire in one place — with a knowledge graph built for going down rabbit holes.

The simply curious

Watch Earth turn, scroll outward from the Sun, find out when the Station passes over your house. No account, no jargon wall, no ads.

Your Data

Browsing requires no account. The personalization on our front page — Your Space — is computed and stored in your browser only, never uploaded, and resets with one click. Signing in uses a magic email link; the same account works in the app. Location is used only when you ask for ISS passes over you, once, in your browser.
