Why is there an arch on the Mun in KSP 1.3.1 which has the coordinates corresponding to the KSP 2 release date? (Looking way too far into this. Warning, Turn back if you're sane.)

[bQuest]

There is an arch on the mun in KSP 1.3.1 (2016-ish version, Long before KSP 2.) That has the following coordinates.
2' 24' 3" N and 81' 29' 29" E (Ignoring the east coordinates since they seem random.)

Kerbal Space Program 2 is releasing on Febuary 24'th, 2023. (2,24,2023)
The Mun arch is located at 2' 24' (202)3" N (Added the 202 for clarification, The actual coordinates are above as "2' 24' 3" N")

Here's some images if you don't believe me.

Fixed title, Is anyone reading this anymore anyways? I feel bad about leaving a grammatical error in but I also don't think anyone cares about this post.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Spoiler

And in any case the proper way of formatting dates is to put the numbers in order: either day/month/year or year/month/day are acceptable, not this month/day/year nonsense 

But seriously, it’s just a coincidence

If you add up the Latitude co-ordinate values of 2, 24 and 3, you get 49 which is the $ value amount of the KSP2 RRP. Crazy.

If you subtract the second two digits of the longitude from the first, you get 23.

If you multiply them together instead you get 68121 which is completely unrelated in any way...

If you add 11,964, which is Mün's semi-major axis from Kerbin to 68121 you get = 80085!

 

The best number.

Rearrange "1.3.1", you can get "1/13" which is today's date.

Add 1+3+1, then repeat the digit, it's the age of someone at home.

That's how conspiracy theories get born. Hand pick the facts that fit some perceived false pattern, ignore the facts that suggest it's just random coincidence.

Take the 1st, 3rd, and 1st letters of the alphabet: "ACA". Discussion of the top Google hits for that triggers a political fight that closes the thread

Actually most of the US uses month/day/year.   It seems stupid, but it is the norm here.  I always thought day/month/year made much more sense. 

Ironically, the US military (at least Army) uses day/month/year.  As well as the metric system.

Yes, we know one can do things with numbers, let’s get back to discussing the arch, thanks.

Now that the Mun Arch has been turned into an alien diagram of the ksp solar system, I'd like to say that I was sort of right that it was weird?

Isn't that like saying something like, "the countries that obtain a lot of Nobel prizes are the ones that consume a lot of chocolate, so eating chocolate makes you get more Nobel prizes, right?"
