NASA will be launching a radio version of the Beatles's, Across The Universe to Polaris this Monday to celebrate the anniversary of the song, and the 50th anniversay of NASA. Far out. ;-)

    • It's cool to think that somewhere, who knows what and who knows where, would hear the beautiful music of the beatles. I still can't get over how timeless their music is.

    • There's something cool about some aliens being, or alien beings, influenced by The Beatles and passing it along. Okay. Enough "Trippy Talk".

    • From the article;///////The song, written by McCartney and John Lennon, may have a ticket to ride and will be flying at the speed of light. But it will take 431 years along a long and winding road to reach its final destination. That's because Polaris is 2.5 quadrillion miles away.////////////NASA loaded an MP3 of the song, just under four minutes in its original version, and will transmit it digitally at 7 p.m. EST Monday from its giant antenna in Madrid, Spain./////////end of excerpt.////// I don't know if i am actually angry about this... it may actually reach something out there along the way and I don't know the cost of transmitting an MP3 from an antenna in Madrid Spain. I think we should be more angry at the spy satellites up in space and the militarization of it.This at least is something peaceful.

    • Occassionally. Then they say they have no funds to launch climate satellites... so yes, on that level I agree with you. But hey, it's The Beatles. ;-).
