Is this a reference to the SpaceX manned launch vehicle? Interesting use of "alien spacecraft" if so.

Could be a reference to the replicator source code from stargate which was the html and js from a bank if I recall correctly.

Wow, that's ... niche

Whenever code is on screen I pause and google it if it’s recognisably not total gibberish - have done for years, it’s always fascinating when it’s plausible and funny when it is not.

My most recent one was Netflix’s Close, though that one was gibberish, it was just a html form with nonsensical attributes in that case.
