Flight clock

Scroll is the flight clock. The page is one real flight, told in order like a log: it opens at the end, with the capsule landing on Lake Hart at dawn as you scroll, flashes back thirteen days to the cleanroom, and climbs. The background follows altitude: salt on the ground, night in orbit, char through re-entry, salt again on landing. Re-entry is the only loud moment on the site.

• The subject is a sequence with a clock: every leg has a time, an altitude and a temperature, so the story is already written.
• A scientist trusts a log. Facts in order, with units, read as care.
• Altitude is a true driver for colour and motion. Nothing moves because a template says so.
