Description

The REST calls to api.spacex.com [recently broke](https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-tutorial/issues/288). It would be nice to make the tutorial work without api.spacex.com

Currently the tutorial is not using the API (the list of launches is static and will not reflect new launches). We might want to rework that part to either use another endpoint or investigate with Cloudflare what's wrong.

Research direction

Start by tracing the tutorial's REST calls to api.spacex.com and read issue #288 for the reported breakage. Done means deciding between restoring a working dynamic launch source and keeping a reliable static or replacement source, with the tutorial working without the broken dependency.
