My binary was a little rusty but that is way cool.

I guess they didn’t want to confuse the little green men with octal base numeration.

I dont know if it's arrogance or ignorance assuming someone will see/interpret/understand this message. for anyone/thing to be able to find and read it, would probably be so advanced that they would look at it as if some primitive beings just discovered the wheel...

World War I cryptographers trained by William and Elizebeth Friedman, Aurora, Illinois, early 1918. By facing either forward or sideways, the soldiers formed a coded phrase utilizing Francis Bacon’s biliteral cipher. The intended message was the Baconian motto “Knowledge is power,” but there were insufficient people to complete the r (and the w was compromised by one soldier looking the wrong way)

Steganography is the practice of concealing a message within another message or a physical object.

Clark, a crossword hobbyist, came up with the idea two years ago. Engineers wanted an unusual pattern in the nylon fabric to know how the parachute was oriented during descent. Turning it into a secret message was “super fun,” he said Tuesday.

This is definitely the geeky side of the scientific mind. I like it.

GPS coordinates - useless unless you know how they’re geo-referenced here on earth.

I'm sure Martian High Command is delighted to know where to send their retaliatory strike.
