Probably not all of them. The Voyager probes were launched in the 70s and they don't exactly need much encryption because they can only be programmed by someone with a massive transmitter.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
