First, I enjoy the app. Second, is it possible to estimate an asteroid's volume given the diameters, because I would like to know how many swimming pools? Third, oh my, the NASA api is so bloated with derivative measurements (one set would do).

Nothing I can do about NASA API itself, but I was definitely thinking of volumetric comparisons on the roadmap. The amount of slop in the comparison gets large due to poorly known shape, but there could be options to select “assume both are prism, cylinder, cone, or ellipsoid shaped.”
