Went back to the site several times, and still got 7211969 every time. I tried looking into the HTML behind-the-scenes and found this section, which deals with the seven larger blinking stars:
The seven visible URLs change into URLs ending in star_1.gif, star_2.gif, etc. as the stars blink. Unfortunately, when I downloaded & analyzed the source .gif for each star, it turned out they were all identical, only animating 1 pulse (with the exception of star_3, which animated an extended pulse 4 frames longer). So I couldn't find the bit in the code that actually coded for the 7211969 pattern.
I did, however, confirm that there are no other Easter eggs in the site as of this writing. The only animated sequences are the house (day/night), Cooper's truck, the scarecrow, the rocket, and the stars. No other hidden text, either: just "loading," "look around you," "the answer lies above us," and a couple error messages.
6110858 and 6111858 seem like either a miscount or an error loading the page. When interpreted as a date, neither yields anything of significance.

You're proving to be a rather valuable new member, boy.

Great work thanks man, so apparently for now this is it, right, the only thing which is probably over thinking is why the 3 is longer but well

Thanks for the work man, and welcome to the forums.
Does anyone else think the moon looks a bit…jagged? It looks as if it's been cut in half. You can even see stars shining where the other half should be.
