just thoughts :
space + odyssey = Space Odyssey ?
if "2.7.1980 09:02:18 timestamp: 331369338" maybe "2147129 timestamp > January 25, 1970 > M*A*S*H premieres"
: )

using ffmpeg I extracted the frames around the 2:18 point in the video, and there aren't any surprises that I can see. on a long shot I did a bit of spectral analysis on the same bit using audacity and it isn't any different than the rest of the song. I suspect the next step will be something more straightforward, using a combination of the data we've already discovered.
ARGs are sometimes described as the first narrative art form native to the internet, because their storytelling relies on the two main activities conducted there: searching for information, and sharing information.

Since not all QR Code reader handle inverted images... thought I just post it here....
its still the one leading to http://qr.w69b.com/g/t2lFujr0I nothing new..sorry
love these puzzle's, they remind me of movies like National Treasure, or
Tv series like McGyver, CSI or NSCI ( rule 36 in particular )
Speaking of dates, I find it suspicious that the last bit.ly link was created July 2: https://bitly.com/1rWkJl7+.
All the other hints were created before the puzzle started.
Edit: but OP has confirmed it's the correct file.

If you get the mods to delete my posts there's not much motivation in me posting the solution for Again.7z now is there? 
Can someone please post their 2.7z ?
mirth's roundup #83:
- July 2, 1980 (timestamp of again files)
- July 2, 1980 (timestamp of again files)
More specifically, it's: Jul 2, 1980 00:02:18
unix timestamp: 331369338
mirth's roundup #83:
clues:
- "Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor."
- 2147129 (from Number.txt)
- 8081-VA015 ODYSSEY (characters in the video from Space.mp4, also the album title this video is from)
- Jul 2, 1980 00:02:18, unix timestamp: 331369338 (timestamp of again files - thanks Prospero)
- Space.mp4 itself
possible next steps:
- construct an IP/onion/web address
- find a password to open 2.7z
- extract something magical out of Space.mp4
as a side note, I am impressed with how many steps this puzzle has included. I feel like I could come back next week and catch up on the next dozen steps everyone has solved, and be on some new thing.

This will (probably) lead to the password needed to open 2.7z

What is the numbers in digital window of the rocket?
After puzzling it out for a while, first thinking it was 00955E9, then upside down it's 00955E9, I finally realized it looked more like 00YSSEY. So I had my big "duh" moment: it's "ODYSSEY". The other set of characters is 8081-VA015, as has already been posted.
Anybody else seeing the modtime of the files as July 2, 1980? Mac Finders is displaying it like that to me.

bump for best round up, few loose ends , so how does it all tie together?
Did you guys extract the 1.7z ?
I think I missed it?

It is without doubt related to ready player one. The skull seems to fit aswell. Now the question is - what is the password?
what i have tried:
If anyone has the physical book they might want to look at line 51 of chapter 7. But i can only find ebooks and they dont break lines at the same place.
