#web scraping on a Wikipedia page listing Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rocket launches.
Why use a wiki?
Structured data: Wikipedia pages typically have a well-defined and predictable structure, making data extraction easier.
Up-to-date information: Information on Wikipedia is constantly updated.
Free access: Wikipedia information is freely available.
Next steps and applications:
After this stage, the code is usually extended to extract specific information from the HTML page (e.g., launch date, rocket type, payload). The extracted data is then stored in a data structure like a DataFrame for further analysis.
