Hello all,

Not sure where to put this, but if you are a mod reading this, feel free to move it around as you see fit.

If you are CLI friendly, there's a way into NASA servers, legally. You can view orbital data, geographical data, satellite data, planet data, etc. In this form:

personally i stay away from anything related to gov sites. Federal time is very harsh.

And what relevance does that have to do with this thread??

Well, very luckily for you, this is 100% legal. Not an illegal thing about it. NASA made this information public on purpose. That way the whole world can view it and maybe break down the data, or catch something NASA didn't or whatever. It's not illegal in the slightest. Don't be so paranoid, my friend.

No not useless, it's a recourse if your interested in that sort of thing it's actually quite useful.

I quite like this if only because it brings back memories of telnet which is all but dead these days.

Indeed - Someone trashed this thread. The modlog didnt say who so I rescued it. No reason this doesnt belong on the forums.

Not exactly on topic... but you should check out www.telehack.com for some telnet goodies. You can watch a Starwars film entirely in ASCII art LOL. also offers quite a few utilities and random programs

I'll check it out, I've seen the star wars one before although not all the way through

[slipkid08]

Yeah, I love Telehack. The author originally created it to teach his son the CLI hacking techniques of old. He pretty much made an almost carbon copy of the old DARPANET, sans a few small details here and there. Pretty cool if you ask me.

On the subject of this thread, I believe this NASA telnet could be a very useful tool for someone of knowledge. I didn't post it for it to be hacked. Rather, I posted it in case someone found it interesting, as I do. I am not really sure what to do with the data, because I don't understand some of the terminology, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to browse through and just kind of view the data from SPACE. Data from beyond our world. THAT is why I posted it. I figured there may be another person out there like me that enjoys reading raw data. I think that this thread holds ground on this forum, because most of us are fans of the command prompt. I'm sorry if some think that it's useless just because they can't hack it.

MODS: Sorry for the rant. If you would like to remove the thread because you think it's useless, that's your right as a mod, but I think it's okay, personally. Didn't mean to start a flame war.

That stuff is epic, i've got a friend in physics who would like to see things like this, and for me ty for seding me telehack.com/ didn't know it ;D
