Download Table -> All Columns, All Rows.
Tried a few new, open, local AI models by giving them the CSV file and asking them to write a simple python script:
1. Parse all rows and build statistical distribution of mass, radius etc.
2. Use those distributions to generate fictional exoplanets.
Playing with this for a space game idea where star systems are populated with fictional exoplanets, but all their params are from the real statistical distributions of all known exoplanets.
A way to get some harder sci-fi using real world data :)
I've got a little orbital dynamics simulator written in C that I've been tinkering with for the past little while. I've got the solar system planets and some asteroids going, I was going to work on moons and artificial satellites / probes next.
My goal was to tinker with simulating a solar system based economy that used Aldrin cyclers for lunar / asteroid mining.

Orbit uncertainty 7 and 9, aka almost- and totally-useless
(Once heard the observation that the dinosaurs didn't go extinct because of an impact: they went extinct because they didn't have a space program.)
