The particular parachute that had helped NASA's Perseverance Mars rover land on the planet last week unfurled to reveal some sort of random color pattern in its video clips of the said rover's landing.
However, there was more to this story as NASA officials noted that there was actually a hidden message that was written in binary computer code.
NASA JPL hidden message cracked
According to an article by The Verge, the internet was reportedly able to crack down the message within only a matter of hours. The red and white pattern reportedly spelled out "Dare Mighty Things" in the concentric rings.
The saying is said to be the Perseverance team's said motto, and it has also reportedly emblazoned on the walls of the Mission Control at NASA's reported Jet Propulsion Laboratory or JPL, the said mission team's headquarters in Southern California.
The parachute's very own outer ring actually translates to the coordinates for JPL noting 34°11'58" N 118°10'31" W. Allen Chen, a particular entry, decent, as well as landing lead for the Perseverance Mars rover actually dared the public to be able to figure out the message during a recent press conference done on Monday.
He noted that in addition to enabling new incredible science, they also hope their engineering efforts might be able to inspire some others.

NASA hidden messages on pictures
He then noted that sometimes, the team leave messages in their work for other people to find out for that particular purpose. With that statement, he then invited people to take a shot and show their work.
Adam Steltzner, the Perseverance's chief engineer, had just recently confirmed the given message via Twitter. The spotted "Dare Mighty Things" message reportedly wasn't the only type of quirk that the Perseverance brought to Mars.
When zooming in on one of the many thousand images that NASA has released from the rover over this week actually shows a really small family portrait of the previous Mars rovers, Perseverance, as well as Ingenuity helicopter which had reportedly accompanied Perseverance to planet Mars.
It looks like the internet has cracked the code in something like 6 hours! Oh internet is there anything you can’t do? For those who just want to know: #Mars2020 #CountdownToMars pic.twitter.com/yTJCEnbuLY

NASA hidden morse code message
NASA has reportedly included hidden messages on its very own rovers some time in the past. The said Curiosity rover, which had been the Mars rover back in 2012, actually had some tiny holes dotted in its very own hollow aluminum wheels in order to allow Mars pebbles that are caught inside to be able to escape.
The holes notably read "JPL" in Morse code. When the previous Curiosity Mars rover moved around the surface, "JPL" was reportedly stamped in Morse code on the known Martian soil (however, this was still erased shortly some time after with the Martian wind.)
Chen noted to The Verge that Perseverance engineers might actually have put even more hidden messages somewhere on the Mars rover aside from the spotted "Dare Mighty Things" code in its particular parachute.
