Your Mail Sack is Back!
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid32236]To the Blog![/url]
It was nice to give our weekly conversation the usual royal treatment again.
As a bonus to the usual challenge (which you will find embedded in the Sack itself), I will be selecting three lucky people who respond to this thread to receive a free code to download the new and improved Kerbal Space Program. To qualify, complete this sentence: "I want to journey into space because..."
To learn more about KSP, pay a visit to the [url=http://www.twitch.tv/kerbalsp]KerbalKon[/url] being streamed all day long by our friends at Squad - but be sure to come back to Bungie.net and help your fellow community peeps solve the puzzle for this week.

I want to journey into space because Kerbal Space program, being one of the coolest games ever created, intensely intrigues my internal organs to the point where my liver hath begun to burn, and my soul hath screamed unto the skies "Why dost thou mock me, O great and powerful Jebediah Kerman?" despite my inability to properly enjoy even a snippet of the compassionately provided complimentary snapshot due to my Linux addiction. Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the picture challenge they gave us is actually the name of that walking tank thing in the other leak they sent out.

I want to journey into space because... I want to find Master Chief and Cortana and wake up Chief so he can take back what is rightfully his: Bungie!

I want to journey into space because simply, and irrefutably: I want to experience the vast expanse and majesty of the universe in it's rawest form. Generations upon generations of people have looked up toward the starry night sky and thought, "I want to go [i]there[/i]." Whether our origins lie in intelligent design, or the notion that we are simply products of a cosmic coincidence are to be proven true - all humans, regardless of belief, are drawn towards infinity. The minuscule specks of dust that spread throughout our sky no doubt harbor amazing, spectacular things. To be bestowed the honour and privilege to travel there - hand in hand with the divine - would be to the envy of all others who dream the same. Once again, simply and irrefutably; to journey into space and to slip the surly bonds of our Earth would be to carry the torch of all mankind. To live the dreams of a thousand generations. Sure of my worthiness, I am certainly not. But given the opportunity I would undoubtedly try.

[quote]Piloting an amazing starship is a fantastic recent perk. Michael Williams, Senior Engineer Ahhhh, yes. [u]I'll tell that story next week, Bungie Community. Promise.[/u][/quote] Anyone catch that? More juicy info on the way? [Edited on 11.30.2012 5:37 PM PST]

100th post. Reading now...

Odd, I thought they would answer more questions in the mailsack. Oh well, my questions would be answered in time anyways. It's good to see that we have a new cypher though! [i]"I want to journey into space because I want to gain another perspective of the life I live here on earth. Few things can compare to the humbling act of viewing the planet you've always lived on from space, knowing just how finite you are. It's motivating and would serve as a constant reminder that I not only have one chance to make a difference in this world, but that I must in order to secure a peaceful and healthy future for the people to come."[/i] ~Me.

I want to journey to space because I want to expierence [url=http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/297752main_image_1249_946-710.jpg]"Earthrise"[/url]. Whenever I think about space I'm overwhelmed by a huge cluster -blam!- of emotions, so it's hard to put into words why I would want to journey to space. But I will say this, going up there would give me or anyone for that matter such a great sense of being. Seeing the Earth from the moon would make every person who had that view realize how precious our tiny blue planet is. Also thanks for answering my question, and overall it was another great mailsack. [Edited on 11.30.2012 11:13 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Verachi [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Verachi This challenge. It confuses me.[/quote]The galaxies represent 1's, the small stars represent zeros. Each column is a different binary number, that when converted to ASCII, spells out "WE'RE STILL DARK, BRO"[/quote]How the hell do you guys figure that out? I'm too dumd for these challenges.[/quote]Well, I first noticed that the first two lines were inverses of each other, which I thought was a big hint, and I ignored it until later. I focused on the orientation of the stars, until we were told that the shape / orientation didn't matter, I tried to match it to Braille, didn't fit, Morse Code, didn't fit, then I thought of doing Binary. There's only so many ways that dots can become letters afterall.

Nice read, I look forward to finding out about the space ship flying incident.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PermeableProgo okay the riddle has something to do with the angle of the galaxies, also take the note "massages are hidden in the stars" to mean that the smaller dots, stars, are the meaning. anyone else have a clue? [/quote]Sorry to burst your bubble, but someone back on page 2 solved it. [Edited on 11.30.2012 4:30 PM PST]

I want to journey into space because...Where else is there left to journey?

Ah, another insightful read, as usual. Ah, another generic response from me, as usual. [b]I want to journey into space because...[/b] I wish to view the Universe unhindered, without earthly constraints. That I may stare into the void, and truly reflect upon not only myself, but on the whole of mankind. To bear witness to the birth of a new age, and gaze down upon the earth from a new, vast perspective. Now, let's see what's up with the main challenge. Edit: People are jerks. Seriously, if the community turned out to e working for the NSA or CIA, I would not be surprised. [Edited on 11.30.2012 9:10 PM PST]
