**I love software engineering, care about the world, and am always
thinking/looking for ideas/solutions that can be implemented to improve this life of ours.
Participating in a hackathon like Nasa space apps was not only enjoyable but
also another opportunity to contribute to our great society. Thanks for your help and even after this hackathon
I will continue to improve this app and even host it on Play Store so that it can be reached by many people. 💪️🚀️😍️
I'm learning threejs, and hope my next project will take us back on the moon 😊️ **
