NASA hid secret messages in the Perseverance parachute

You might have noticed the unusual pattern to the red and white in the Perseverance rover's parachute as it landed on Mars last week, and NASA teased a secret message coded in the colors. Maxence Abela, a student at French computer science institution Epitech, and his father quickly figured it out.

The message reads "Dare mighty things," a slogan of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), while a JPL's Paul Ramirez revealed that the outer rings included GPS coordinates for its offices in Pasadena, California.
