Yeah so whats up with the tweet.

Alright so here's what I've got so far:

First code (found on Twitter):
"5761736E2774207468617420612062697420746F6F20656173792074686F7567683F20576861742061626F75742074686973206F6E652E20687474703A2F2F646F776E6C6F61642E6D79766D6B2E636F6D2F73706963796C6574746572732E747874"

Decoded through a Hexadecimal decoder:
"Wasn't that a bit too easy though? What about this one. http://download.myvmk.com/spicyletters.txt"

Second code ("spicyletters.txt"):
"Zyx(abxcfg(zxhkqffqrs(Tlg(vqykq("cg(@lzgq(g#qkq($qg%%%(Fq&kqgf(kqxaz"(vzg#z"^(c"q(bafg(&#abbq"*q%%%(tlg(v#ag(vzbb($cl(!z"r^(Z(vc"rqk~(&a"($cl(kqa&#(!ck(g#q(fgakf~

#ggh_||rcv"bcar%x$mxn%&cx|gka"fxzffzc"o%gpg"

I'm not good at code cracking, though... haha!

yee that's as far as i've gotten also, but i'm not sure where to take the second code. i'm good at creating html coding not deciphering other codes unfortunately heheheh. but hopefully someone figures it out :3

The bottom part has a pattern of a normal URL, so if #ggh_|| = http://

Assuming rcv"bcar% = download.
x$mxn = myvmk
%&cx = .com

All the letters match up so far... (e.g. "x" = m, "%" = . , etc.) That already gives you a good number of characters to work with.

So that leaves just |gka"fxzffzc"o%gpg

... Fill in the gaps with what we know so far.... it gives us...

/t?an?m????on?.t?t

Gonna assume the last part is .txt. Now just trial and error of filling in the blanks and looking at what works (f= s makes sense) it's transmission2.txt

http://download.myvmk.com/transmission2.txt

Not gonna bother with the top part :p Ok I'm done working on this after staring at it for the last 30 minutes not my job anymore!!

but you need the top part or the link is useless :)[DOUBLEPOST=1521739045,1521738970][/DOUBLEPOST]Well... I guess technically not... You could technically figure it out without the first part, but holy hell would it be a lot harder.

Not my problem anymore I explained how it works and gave like 10 characters to work with someone else's turn to fill in the blanks!!

Okay I figured out this part but I'm not sure what to do next so maybe somebody else can help lol
"I'm almost impressed but we're not quite there yet...secrets remain within one last challenge...but what will you find? I wonder can you reach for the stars?"
BUZZ!

Alright, well, assuming that http://download.myvmk.com/transmission2.txt is the correct link and the next step in the code.....
The "transmission 2" link leads you to a page with a binary code on it:

00011110010000100000000101000011000011100000000100001000010011110001001000010110010011110000100000011111000101000101001000010110000000110001001000000110000000010000000101010010001000110001101100010011010001010000010101000100000001110010101100001010010101010100100100011001000100010000000000010010000100000001101100000000000001000100100100011010000001000001110001010010000101010101001000010110000100110001000101001010000011100101011101001111001001100001011100010000000101110000100100010010010100110101011100011101000101110001100100001001000100000100111001001111000100010100100100100111000111000000100000011100000011000110001100000000000000110000100001000001000000100000010101010010010101000110111000001100000111110100000100011011000010010100010100001101000001100000101100001110010001110100000001000110000011010000011100011001000000000000111000000111000101000101010001001111000100010100100100000011000110010101001001011001000000110001010001010100000000110001101000011010010001000101110001001100001010000100111001010110010011110011110100010000000001000000000000011111011000110010110000001100000000110100000100010111000010110101010101010111000110110000100100001101010000110000101001000101010001100000000000000010010001010001101000000001000010110100011101010011000101010100000100000001000110100101001000111100010010110000110001010100000011100001111001001101000110000001101000000000010010000000000000000011010100000000011000001101000101100101001100110011000011010101001101010100001101110001010000011000000000000011101000000100010000000001101100000110000000000010010100000110000110100100011100010101000110100000010001010101010001010110100100011010010010000001000100011010000011000101001101011001000101100001110101000011010110110100001001000001001001110000101000010001010100100001110000011011000001100000000000011010000001000001101100000100010010010001101001001111010101110000101100010101000111000001110100000010010010010000000000001110000010010000010001001001000000100001001000000111010101000100111100010111000000000000010000011110010011000001011000011110000001100000011001001011000011100101110001000001000011000001001000010001010100100000010001000100010000010001010101001110000100110100100100001001000011010101001000010111010011110001010001010011010001100000010000001111000010100101010100000000001110010100111100011110000000010001101000010111010001010001001101001100000000000011101000001110000110110000000000011010000011100001101100000001010100100010011000001110000011010001101101001001000000100000101000000000000000000001110100011100010001010100000101010011000000100000100000000000000001110100101000101000010010110100110101000010000000000001100000011001000000110001011001010100010000010000101000011111000111110000000100010110010100110010011100001010000010010100111001010010001100000001101000000011010011000001011000001011010000110101111001000101010000010000000000001011010101000101100100011110000000000100100100010101000101110100010101010100000000010000101100000100000011000101010000011100000000010101010001011010010000010000111001010000001000010000101000010101000101110100010100001101000111000101010100000000010001010001101000001110000110110001101001001000010101110001111000011101000111000000000101001110010110010101001101001110011001000110111101101001000010100100000100001010000110110101010101000011000010010001001100001001010011000001000100000110000000100100010101001000010001110101110001010011000101100101010100000000010011110101011100011011000101000001011101000011000100100001101000011111000010100101010100010101000000110000110000000000000000100000110000001101000010110100100001000101011010010101010000011111000001100001110101000100000100010000000001011110010011100011000000001100000001110101001100001010000001100001101001001110010111100100010100010010000001100000011001000100010001100000111001010010010011010001000100011011000101100100000100010100000100010100000100011101000001010101101000111011000001110001100101001111010000010010110100000000000101100101001100011011010100100100100100100101001111110010000100110001001011000011110100000100000010000100000000000000001011010001101101010100010101000001111100000000000001110001010000001010010100100001101100000010000001110000000000000110000111000001110100011100010001010101100100011011000111010001011101010010000000110100100100010111000000010001110101000000010010010101110100000000001100010000000000000101000111010001011100010001010100110100110000010111000100010001100100001000000001110000100100000000000101100000011100001101000001110000011100001011000011000100010100000011000111010000000000000000000001110000111100011100000000110000000000000010000010100000111000011001000110000100010100011001000011110000010001011010000010010101110100000000000001010001101000011101010011100001000001001000000011100001101000000000000100010000011000011110010011000100000101011001000111000000010101000101000001010000000000001111000010000000110001010000001110110100100100001101000010100100111101101110011011110011010101001101010001010010001000010101010011100101000000001011

I plugged this code into two different binary readers, and got two different but slightly similar answers:

What these mean, I have absolutely no idea, but maybe someone else can decode the rest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: Also, now having a chance to think about the whole "reach for the stars" and "binary" thing, "Binary Sunset" from Star Wars came to mind....
