Morse on Mars? Oh, my...

Curiosity's path to its new parking spot was emblazoned on the Martian surface by a series of dash and dot tread marks that were left in the soil by each of the rover's 20-inch diameter (50 centimeter) wheels.

The track pattern, dot-dash-dash-dash, dot-dash-dash-dot, dot-dash-dot-dot (".--- .--. .-.."), spells out "JPL" in Morse code, which translates letters and numbers into a series of short ("dot") and long ("dash") signals.

Bad idea. I think it would change the outcome of any future "Independence Day" scenarios.
