This is so cool! I've wanted to make something like this for years. I did the math for using Spaceport America as the sun and Pluto would have been as far as Wyoming.

We're making satellites that rapidly track wind over the entire ocean. NASA's head of oceanography said everyone will want to buy our data.
Weather satellites are disjointed. We iterate on our satellites weekly at 1/1000th the cost. We're aiming to develop the world's first cohesive weather information system.
Wild that such a central part of American society vanished and I didn't even know beyond "chestnuts roasting on an open fire". Makes me wonder what other parts of our lives and culture will be lost with extinctions caused by climate change.
We're working on this problem at Care Weather (www.careweather.com). Current wind sensing satellites only measure ocean surface winds once per day. They're too expensive for governments to build additional satellites for more frequent refresh. We're lowering their cost by three orders of magnitude and launching a constellation to get hourly updates.
The satellite industry very commonly uses NASA Debris Assessment Software to prove to the FCC that they won't create space debris.
Would sqlite or postgres still be the right place to start if I don't have an http interface to start off of?
I have a couple points of feedback:
If I accidentally click out, there's no way to recover my place. A forward arrow or option to start at any pose by clicking in the preview would fix that.
Some training poses would be helpful for those of us who can't touch the floor in triangle pose or can't maintain an upright torso in garland pose
