Telemetry
The entiere Telemetry of the launch has been extracted using SpaceXTelemetry (program that i wrote, not open source now)
SXT reads data frame by frame and it uses the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and sometimes this OCR could give wrong results because it isn't perfect, so some numbers are faked a little, with all the extracted data i started making comparisons and graphs
Predicted calculations predicted calculations done to the launch ( not everytime they are accurate)
Graphs (they are avaible in the API)
