Message we sent to space (1 Viewer)

[Tick]

There's a message we broadcast to space in 1999 called Cosmic Call. Back then, I downloaded a text file that was the message we sent in binary, with some errors thrown in. It was fun to decode, particularly with the errors complicating things.

My daughter is into codes and codebreaking, so I thought I'd give this to her as a problem to solve... but my google skills seem to suck. Can anyone find the text file I'm talking about?

Just have her decode the NFL rule book or The Affordable Care Act. That should keep her busy for a while.

That was a simpler one sent earlier.

At least I get to die knowing we're not we weren't alone in the universe.

I firmly believe that any advanced space exploring race that were to visit us would have had to develop a respect for life to achieve that level of technology.

We dont even have any resources on our planet of value that arent found in greater quantity somewhere else that is easier to access.

Heck, even animals on our planet, with the exception of the honey badger, dont just go around murdering everyone else just for fun.

Lets just hope we dont meet a race of humanoid intergalactic honey badgers.

Otters.

Stop, I don't want to hear any more terrible things about otters.Too bad! Here are two more.

Fair enough about otters, but they aren't actively hunted down other species outside their own habitat to forcefully copulate with...yet.
