ASCII Image of the day

Combining latest rocket science and 30 years old Internet protocol together for fun.

This small project is inspired by Star Wars Episode 4 via DNS of which you probably heard. Unfortunately this nice trick is no longer available, but it will be remembered in our hearts.

So when I saw this traceroute output I thought "Wow", that's cool. Can I do something at least somewhat cool too? Obvious idea was to use something to do something, what this first something was not intended to do. Like reverse DNS lookup was not intended to show intro of Star Wars, Episode IV.

So I came up with the idea to combine ancient service from the times when Internet was young and NASA's Image of the day.
