Anagram maybe?

Got my letter today, as ive been away on vacation. The space challenge i counted 16 small stars, two sets of 8 white and black stars. Super 8!!

[ssx3master]

Running the sequence of white and black stars as binary. One set with white as 1 and one with white as 0. Will edit with results...

Edit: After running a few different variations I got some where both characters were regular text and some where I had to translate one or both from ampersand codes the translator spit out.

--First one in each set is WHITE = 0 and BLACK = 1, and then I swap them--

Left to right across the page: 1101100001111000 = Øx
Number swap: 0010011110000111 = '‡

Left column of stars then right, then bottom: 1100110110011000 = ͘
Number swap: 0011001001100111 = 2g

Clockwise starting on right of Coop: 0110011000110011 = f3
Number swap: 1001100111001100 = ™Ì

I cant really make anything out of these, but my favorite attempt is the first try of that last set. F3 is the key frequently used to activate a search function...maybe a message to some of our seaworthy posters?

Hey guys,

I worked in a print shop for 5 years and just wanted to say that most high-end paper companies watermark their paper. It can be used for other things, such as matching paper with envelopes, but ultimately it's a mill's way of branding their paper. That said, they used quality paper, not the cheapo stuff you buy at Wal-Mart.

Me and my friends recieved our letters today .

Same here! My brother woke me up while I was sleeping to give me the envelope. I was more than psyched Can't wait to see where this leads us!!

[comadarkvale]

My one friend did not send the maze and he still recieved his letter.

I got my letter today, and I'm in NY. I didn't mail out the form until sometime last month, which makes me think that they must have waited until they got a specific number of responses, or waited until a certain date before sending out all of the letters.

I got my letter today. I sent out the form without the maze the very next day after that night when the form was found.

However, on the back of my letter reads the following:

*Dear Poppeteers Astronaut Candidate:

The Astronaut Name you have chosen, "Slusho?", has already been submitted by another candidate.

Please resubmit your application with your new, unique name to:

Rocket Poppeteers!
ATTN: Astronaut Admissions Committee
P.O. Box #1331
Minot, ND 58702

(Note: There is a star next to "Dear" at the beginning of the letter.)

I wonder if I should go ahead and send in another application with a different name?
