I've put this off for a long time, I think doing this manually is a horrible way to do it. I think we can grab data from https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?horizons and reformat it into our JSON format then import that into the game. This would give the advantage of accurate asteroids, (at least for a given epoch).

You could probably use python to make an output file for this using the plugin astropy it includes different ephemeris from JPL

The main issue atm is the the fact that system data isn't read from json/hjson.

297 includes at least more of Sol filled out and provides a nicer class format we could use and auto generate class files from those in the required format.

Not as scalable as using Json but would be a fair start.
