IDEA 6 Repost : Use NASA Api's to build visualization of near earth objects

{Repost because I was apparently banned by the platform}

Use the API at https://api.nasa.gov/api.html#NeoWS to grab initial data by date for near earth objects. In that JSON result you can follow to page(s) at JPL to get the orbital elements which appear on a page such as : https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=3726710;old=0;orb=0;cov=0;log=0;cad=0#elem

The later page(s) might have to be scrapped (use Python BS4 or the like perhaps?) and can then be plugged into a visualization>

Stretch goal is to basically mash up additional information such as mass, object type (chemical composition), and etc.
