I just changed the sort order for mission pages from (rating, votes, id) to (rating, votes, date). We should check this is efficient before importing more missions.

I think before we start importing many more images, we need to improve the way images are selected for rating. Some quick thoughts:

• By default, we should probably prioritise newer images for rating, as those will tend to be more interesting (especially once we have semi-realtime importing).
• You should be able to rate a specific mission if you want. This is especially important when we import a new mission and we want to bubble up some good images quickly.
• Rating lots of similar images is dull and potentially confusing. We don't have good similar-image detection yet, but we could possibly de-prioritise rating images in a group which you've already rated an image from.

At the moment our titles are all the same, which isn't good for SEO or having multiple tabs open. The following tweaks would be good:

• Mission index pages should have the mission name in the <title>
• Image pages should have the location (and perhaps also the mission/roll/frame ID)

It would be great to automatically group similar images. Recent ISS missions have got especially good at taking dozens of photos of the same subject, and this is especially tedious if you're rating images.

We might be able to do this simply by looking at the photo timestamp, and I'd suggest this might be the most useful first step.

ImgHash could be worth a look, but I'm a bit concerned about how well it'll work with our images.

Ideally we should be able to feed a mission ID in, and it should automatically:

• Fetch the list of images and filter out already-imported images.
• Download the HTML and jpg files
• Process and upload jpg to S3
• Import HTML

This should ideally be parallelisable as well.
