I have finally finished this application and am excited to share it with others. It is now complete and ready for use.

About

This project is a Launch Card Flask Application designed to display SpaceX launch data in a convenient and user-friendly way. The application fetches data from the SpaceX API and uses a macro-based HTML template to render the launch information dynamically.

Features

• Fetches live SpaceX launch data from the SpaceX API.
• Displays key details such as mission name, launch date, and additional resources (e.g., articles, Wikipedia links).
• Uses Flask for the backend and Jinja2 macros for efficient HTML rendering.
