I use mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) for such things, in this
case something like:

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile pitch.asf 'http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf'

(the link is found inside the .wmv file linked from the site you
mentioned; the wmv file is a text file in this case)

I've never tested this under Windows though (I use Linux), but it
should work.

I've uploaded the file here:
