A parity bit is simple way of detecting transmission errors.
44
The transmitters and receives can only transmit and receive *exactly* eight bits at a time (including the parity bit).
55
The parity bit is set so that there is an *even* number 1s in each transmission and is always the first bit from the right.

So if the receiver receives `11000001`, `01110101` or `01000000` (i.e. a transmission with an odd number of 1 bits), it knows there is an error.

The message needs to be transmitted in a sequence when they are longer.

For example, consider the message `11000000 00000001 11000000 11011110` (or in `C0 01 C0 DE` hex).

But transmitting over such long distances is tricky.
55
Pesky solar flares, temporal distortions, stray forces, and even the flap of a space butterfly's wing can cause a random bit to change during transmission.

Detecting corrupted messages isn’t just important — it’s critical.

The receiver must know when something has gone wrong before disaster strikes.
