I don;t know of any way to crack it aside from brute force. Assuming it was "only" 64 bits, you'd gain a -1754 (or so) day advantage as opposed to just watching the NASA webcast. In simple terms, you'd be all ready for the 2009 game in...2014 or so.

While that's usually been the case, 2008's password was a phrase related to the game. I would imagine that, in some sense, that's marginally less secure -- if only because determining that phrase is contingent upon knowing the information that it's protecting.
