Explaining the Starship launch + Mechazilla catch to his kids, the author got "How hard can this be?" — so he built an interactive simulator (starship.salahuddin.net) using Antigravity + Gemini 4 Hydrogen. It covers the full flight loop: 33-Raptor liftoff, hot-staging, booster catch, Starlink deployment, orbit, re-entry and ship catch, with tilt controls, sound and mission scoring. His takeaway: the future of education is building to learn.
