It appears to not be ``pure'' ascii (I don't know if that is actually
important to your application)
The first two lines of the astronaut have charactors that render as
question marks on my system:

As well as the "'" in "It's" in the 1st quoted like above.
From the faq:
What does ASCII mean?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
7-bit as defined in ISO-646 is a basic set of 128 numbered symbols which
almost all kinds of computer can display. Here are the ones that are used
for ASCII art:
032 [space] 048 0 064 @ 080 P 096 ` 112 p
033 ! 049 1 065 A 081 Q 097 a 113 q
034 " 050 2 066 B 082 R 098 b 114 r
035 # 051 3 067 C 083 S 099 c 115 s
036 $ 052 4 068 D 084 T 100 d 116 t
037 % 053 5 069 E 085 U 101 e 117 u
038 & 054 6 070 F 086 V 102 f 118 v
039 ' 055 7 071 G 087 W 103 g 119 w
040 ( 056 8 072 H 088 X 104 h 120 x
041 ) 057 9 073 I 089 Y 105 i 121 y
042 * 058 : 074 J 090 Z 106 j 122 z
043 + 059 ; 075 K 091 [ 107 k 123 {
044 , 060 < 076 L 092 \ 108 l 124 |
045 - 061 = 077 M 093 ] 109 m 125 }
046 . 062 > 078 N 094 ^ 110 n 126 ~
047 / 063 ? 079 O 095 _ 111 o
There are other characters in the set (with the numbers 0 - 31 and 127),
but they can do bad stuff to Usenet readers, so PLEASE DON'T USE THEM in
your pictures (except characters 10 and or 13 which are used to insert a
new-line by a variety of Operating Systems).
