cp: -r or -R?
scp took -p from rcp/cp, where it already meant preserve times. So port got -P.

Good catch, thanks! It'll be there soon, and checking for it turned up a few more missing spacecraft too.

Roman is in now. Search "Roman" and it shows up, about 1.4 million km out on its way to L2. Also added IMAP, Aditya-L1, ESCAPADE and a few others.

Ha, it's a halo orbit around L2. Turn on "Rotate with Earth" to see the loop itself.

Not a hug of death. It runs live at 1 s/s, but at real time a satellite moves only a pixel or so a second. The middle button toggles pause, so your click paused it. Press it again, or + to speed up.

Added an endless ambient mode with generated music: flybys, eclipses, missions, time-lapses. The ∞ button at the top, F for full screen.

Found it! Search works by name or number, try "Sebmellen" or "31689".

I think they added it because I threw out the comment :D
Thanks for the heads up!

Done, searching "interstellar" now lists all of them.

Fixed most of your list: spacebar pause, Esc to deselect, a white Sun, and the debris orbit bug at high speed. Thanks!

Good idea. For now they have their own group in the list, "Interstellar visitors".
