 		They translated the puzzle image. And they make reference to the N S E W.

HERE IS THE DATA
Decoded from the 1st pod signal! We believe there is some kind of message or information hidden within. Hope you can figure it out...

We've received so many emails revealing the translation of the minifig alphabet and picture labels. Great work!
Some of you have also alerted us to the four grey letters in the data that spell out N, S, W and E. We don't yet know what they mean but we urge you to remember them. We're sure they are part of a larger message.
Keep up the fantastic work!

They have also decoded the German one, but don't say anything about the letters.

 		I love the suspension-of-disbelief that a bunch of literal rocket scientists couldn't decode the pod transmission. Smile

Although I did notice that Dr. Deutschendorf credentials are M.E.Sci, Sc.D, B.Mid. TTBOMK, the last one is a Bachelor of Midwifery...?!

I live in "rocket city," and have known/dated a few literal rocket scientists. Most of them are extreme specialists, and are lost on anything that's not chemical reactions related to rocket fuel.

Off topic.

 		So are we just in a waiting game now for them to essentially tell us where to go? 0.o

Essentially, though there are still mysteries to be solved, such as what the significance is of the blacked-out numbers on the "About the Institute" page.

Also, while I remember it: Does anyone know what the shape is at the center of the B.R.I.C.K. logo?

I think that's supposed to be Earth looking at the middle of the Atlantic ocean (FL being the upper-left shape).

Checking the all-knowledgable wikipedia, that is indeed what it means. All in running with the humour of this thing!

What on Earth in space orbits the Earth other than the moon?

Being a literal rocket scientist I'll just say that I'm pretty good at structures, orbit analysis, 6-DOF trajectories, strengths of materials, and physics too.

Unless they are Chem-Eng then most rocket scientists do do much with chemical reactions and just go to the books for propellant figures.



...I will admit to be totally lost on Midwifery!

Not sure it's Earth, because whatever is orbiting it, has a single object orbiting it as well! (see lower left object). Unless the are showing a satellite orbiting the moon? BUt that still wouldn't explain the other object in orbit.

Moving outwards we could say its the sun, and the large outer one is Jupiter, but all the planets are nearly co-planer, and these two objects have an inclination of about 45 deg.

Maybe just a logo some-one doodled and thought looked good?

 		I think it might be safe to assume it's a doodle, for now. I'll do a touch of research to see if I can pull anything up on it. However, nothing really matches known orbits that I know of. Perhaps it might bew a sketch of where the deep space signal has originated.

Not surprising location at all, but it's an absurdly high trafficked area.

I got people in the Kissimmee area if they are needed, and would be more than happy to participate.


Downtown Disney is generally only crowded on weekends/holidays or at night, but I assume that is why you have to tell the handler you are specifically looking for that pod. I live on the east coast of FL so I could go there to pick up the pod if it "lands" there. It gives me a good excuse to go to Orlando.

 		They created a new map on their account called
New Pod 2 coordinates
It has coordinates centered even more on Florida. They are
30.40,-83.23
30.40,-79.90
25.02,-79.90
25.02,-83.23
Link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ptab=2&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115428937171909291512.0004791cd3642ddda1a2f
Of course, this could turn out like the other one I found.

As expected. I have no doubt in my mind that it'll be at Downtown Disney's LEGO store.
