Numbers on the 88-88 transmitter

0x62656570

and

S1 0410 1957 1928

What do you think they mean? If anything?

A couple of those could be years... like the birth years of one of the devs parents? and or grand parents? That's my only idea at the moment.

4th October 1957 - Sputnik (S1)... try to guess how 1928 is related to this ^^

The first liquid rocket I believe was launched in 1928.

Converting the hexadecimal 0x62656570 to decimal gives; 1650812272

A google search for; 16 50 81 2272 and first result is Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris

I really don't know, that may be a total coincidence but the above link is an old document to do with lunar distances. 2272 seems to have something to do with Saturn.

But all I can really be sure about is that it has something to do with, errm....stuff.

According to the wiki, 0x62656570 converted to ASCII reads "beep".

Nope, Goddard launched it in 1926

19:28 was the time sputnik was launched

I googled 0x62656570, the third result was the Kerbal wiki easter egg page which says 0x62656570 converted to ascii is 'beep'

well...

That was fast. I'm glad they actually do mean something.

In a game like this... if you're going to put numbers on something... I'd have been disappointed if they weren't a reference to something.
