Nasa is sending Chuck Berry's music to the stars aboard Voyagers

[KitKat]

This is pretty cool.

Space is about to get a lot groovier than ever before. Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry's recent death was declared a tragic loss by numerous legendary musicians and Hollywood A-listers. However, his music will live on and will be flown to the stars by Nasa's Voyager spacecraft.

Two of Nasa's Voyager spacecraft are slated to head to space and will carry with them, golden records with music and messages from earthlings, intended to be a sort of time capsule to "communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials".

Was Outer Space ever groovy? lol

[KitKat]

It will be now.

Maybe instead of those monotone notes we send out to see if there is any life elsewhere besides Earth, we can send out key notes to one of the many Chuck Berry hits. As KitKat wrote, space will now be groovy.    KitKat must be watching Austin Power movies, what with her using the 60s word, groovy.

Actually, the proper sentence is NASA has SENT Chuck Berry's music to the stars ...

The Voyager probes were both launched in 1977. Chuck Berry's music has been in transit for 40 years now.

Still really cool. I graduated from high school and joined the Canadian Forces that year.

I can just see the aliens who find it trying to crack this "aggressive sounding alien code".

I can hear the interpretation now -- They're declaring war on us. What did we ever do to them?
