“Man of Steel” Viral Message Decoded; Superman’s Shield Hidden in Static [Updated] Caleb Hamilton, April 13, 2013April 14, 2013 We’ve been tracking progress on the Man of Steel Deep Space Radio Wave Project viral site all day. People have been working non-stop to decode the latest transmission and the final piece of the code has been revealed.
