Terrible misleading headline.

The headline is trying to imply to those not in the know that we received communication from aliens.

This was never even close to what happened.

NASA was testing a method of high-speed data transfer for use in the future to expand the internet to other planets.

This is not receiving a message from an alien. This is receiving test packets from us to us.

Truthfully, I weep for whoever will have to play online games in the future through space-internet.

Their ping is gonna be out of this world.
