Artemis tracking site poorly designed?

[jjohnson3803]

Anybody else find the official Artemis realtime tracker NASA Tracker to be clumsy?  Maybe it's me or my browser or my net connection, but I'm finding the site to be slow, clunky, and non-intuitive.  The dashboard showing speed and position is great, but the graphical display is less than what I'd expect for a premiere mission.  I'm not convinced the graphics are even correctly showing the position, but again it could just be me.

Anybody know of a (near) realtime tracker that just shows a projected path and the current location, like the old Apollo tracks, and loads like a normal web page?

Apologies, but I'd really expect NASA to do better.

Opposing opinions and edification are most welcome.

That was my thought also, tho the speed may be down to load, probably a large amount if initial interest after all.

It's very glitchy. Very unuser friendly.

I rather like it. The 'view' that show the position of Orion on its path, nicely shows that they are aiming for where the moon will be, but isn't yet.

I can see it is rather source hungry. Runs smoothly on my M1 Mac mini though.

There is good and bad about it but it is quite resource hungry and also as mentioned there will be a lot of people trying to access it.  Overall I would agree it is not the most slick implementation.
