spacex 
Go client library for the SpaceX REST API developed at r-spacex. Because Rockets are cool.
image credit:
Using this client library, you could get information about things like the date of the next launch, videos / stats about previous launches, data about different rockets and capsules, live stats about the roadster/star man, etc.
Supported Entities/Endpoints
Rate-limiting is supported natively (use NewWithRateLimit). Set a rate limit of 50 to comply with the REST API's spec.
TODO:
- Capsule Details
- Launchpads
Usage Example
Get info about falcon9 rocket (check out the client_test.go file for more examples):
c := New()
rocket, err := c.GetRocket("falcon9")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}Result:
