Chat and I decided to build a tracking script that would locate where in the world the ISS was currently at.

I thought it would be a fun idea to have our script interact with chat in a meaningful way - so we decided to have the script write out to chat where the ISS was currently at and provide a link to google maps so viewers could see it in real time!

Additionally - in order to make it even more fun; the script figures out which country the ISS is over (if it's over land) and pulls a word from a word list - translates that word to the countries native language and puts that into chat as well. It's really cool!

It's a constant work in progress that we all enjoy tinkering with from time to time.
