The satellite-centric X,Y,Z are useless, remove them.

We do want lat/lon and Altitude (Km and miles(?)), Velocity (Km and miles/sec(?))

Change ID to "NORAD ID".
Add "International Designator" from TLE
Add "Inclination" from TLE
Add "Eccentricity" from TLE (will have to add in decimal point, research where)
Orbits per day: from TLE: Mean Motion
Revolution Number: from TLE

Compare what we're showing to what N2YO provides, for example.

See this excellent color coded resource
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/SSOP_Help/tle_def.html

Would be nice if we could get the satellite full-name but we'd need more data than provided by the TLEs. If we're gonna ask a service like Science or NSSDC, let's do that later and also grab an image of the satellite; don't worry about it now. We also can't get phase (operating, past) from TLE.
