Pretty neat except for the password part, which even through tearing apart the underlying scripts, I can't find the password for, so either I am missing something obvious, or just stupid.
edit: found it out, as it turned out I was stupid.
This was fun until the password stage. I tried all the obvious including 'hunter2' then decided this is no fun whatsoever and had a brief dip into the javascript but couldn't find anything worth my time so ended it there.
ETA: Did another run through and it's obvious what the password is, no digging through code needed.
One thing I did find, if you are particularly bored, is that the maze's collision detection is pretty broken, so if you just try at the right angle, you can go through all the walls, and even exit outside the map. After looking at the source code, as it turns out, it's actually using a raycasting engine, something pretty neat for JavaScript.
This is broken to the point of not doing anything on the various devices I tried it on. It seems to not cope very well with any blocking of any kind.
Works OK for me on Mac OS Chrome 69.0.3497.100 with uBlock Origin. That blocked two Google syndication ads, so it doesn't seem like it's littered with crapware.
If you have Javascript disabled, well, it's a Javascript puzzle so yeah that's not going to work.
That RCS thruster control mechanism was ingenious.

Yes same here, I rummaged around for the code in Javascript, ended up even finding some pages here:
https://abstrusegoose.com/sa-comics/578/scripts/login_scripts/login.jsI looked and looked and ended up guessing the password anyways... I won't give away the secret, except to say we have read some of the same Sci-Fi books.
Still, just as an exercise I am still curious where the compare is being done to see where they stored the password (or are they doing it via calculation which would be a better way to obfuscate it rather than just a string).
Move along, move along, nothing to see here!

Wholly crap, I had no bloody idea at all that this was even near possible by any means at all.

Classic stuff, I remember being taken to a Chemistry lecture at the Royal Institution while at senior school. The Christmas lectures were required viewing in our household.
I had forgotten Mr Coates, he was a permanent fixture at the Royal Institution lectures for many, many years!
