Currently, https://josephg.com/sp/current returns a png with 3x8 (RGB) bits/pixel. But since the image has only 16 colors, you can reduce its filesize to ~20% (from ~714 to ~147 KB, with http://optipng.sourceforge.net/). Can't you can gain performance and reduce bandwith by keeping the image serverside as a 4 bit png?

That’s a valid point. But Sputnik had also a component of harmed pride (›most advanced nation‹); at least this should be reproducible.

The NASA went to the moon because the russians wanted to do it. Today's space exploration is shaped by cooperation, but sometimes a little bit of competition is needed to achive great thinks.

This is why i'm really hoping for the chinese to announce a manned mission to mars. It's the red planet afterall ;), and this could be a modern sputnik shock for the NASA.
