This project is a command-line tool that fetches and displays upcoming spaceflight events in a tabular format. It interacts with a public API to retrieve event data, allowing users to specify a date range or view events for the current day. The tool provides navigation options to browse through the events easily. The data for this project was sourced from The Space Devs API.
