Node Nasa was built while completing the 50+ hour Udemy course that is focused on the latest technology trends within NodeJS (as of 2021). These technologies include Docker, Express, MongoDB, Github Actions, GraphQL, Typescript, and Continuous Integration and Delivery.

Node Nasa itself is a CRUD application focused on backend design strategies such as models and controllers, and connects to the NASA open API to get existing launch missions or create or delete new (fictional) missions. It is connected to a MongoDB for saving new launches.
