Eagle's Descent - Apollo Lunar Module Landing Simulator

Eagle's Descent puts you in the commander's seat of the Apollo Lunar Module for the final descent to the Moon. Built with three.js and inspired by NASA's Apollo documentation and LROC terrain data, it simulates the P63, P64, and P66 landing phases. You'll manage descent rate, fuel, and attitude using a faithful DSKY interface and out-the-window view. The sim balances historical accuracy with approachable controls, letting space enthusiasts experience the thrill of a soft lunar touchdown. Requires a physical keyboard; best on desktop.

I have always had a deep fascination for Apollo spacecraft, especially the Lunar Module. This is my attempt to simulate the last three stages of the descent sequence, so that an average person like me can manage to land safely with a bit of training.
