It would be great. I volunteer Chris to do the updates in the 14 seconds of free time be has each day between his job and this place.
you never know if someone wanted to put in the effort.
I am also very interested in this idea! I am however getting a calendar error when using the link.

The above link needs to be copy-pasted into the google calendar url input field. Clicking on it from the forum does not work me either, but I tested the copypaste method which worked.
So...what magical sources are really available, preferably with a public API?
Just a demo, now including NSF calendar and iCal links. The urls wont be permanent, demo only
I can easily have a cached data table with regular CRUD interface added in there, including launch time updates

But, it would still someone to manually update that table, introducing more work and "one point of failure". Its OK, if a current NSF calendar updater(s) would take that on. If not, then I think NSF should really look into a calendar format (hint: google calendar as I demoed) that allows putting event times in such a way that an ical can be automatically generated.
Enjoying this thread. Been busy with launches n'stuff, but keep going and PM me if you need something. I assume "scraping" isn't a problem for our server loads? (I worry about such things without knowing what I'm talking about )
I can recommend my own app that is using LaunchLibrary and is called LaunchPal. It is a Windows 10 Universal app so you can use it on Windows 10 Desktop and Windows 10 Phone.
Wait. So Launch Library is getting their data from the calendar here? Is Chris OK with that? There are several apps already out there using launchlibrary for the data source, which really means they are using the calendar here as their data source.http://launchlibrary.net/appgal.htmlT-Minus in particular looks pretty good for android, but it doesn't do notifications. The developer says he is still working on the app, so maybe soon???

But we're talking about something specific to NSF created.
But we're talking about something specific to NSF created.Something for the site.Something for my iPotato.Bases covered.
How much does a separate app add here, compared to standard calendar app, whether its a desktop, mobile or web app, that works off of iCal feed on the web ?

I just saw this thread. I have been thinking about making an app with launch dates for about a year now. My plan is to work on it this summer and hopefully release it on the App Store for free.
