NASA Transmits A Missy Elliott Song To Venus

 

NASA recently transmitted Missy Elliott's song "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" to Venus, a distance of about 158 million miles, taking nearly 14 minutes to reach the planet.  The agency sent the song using radio antennas near Barstow, California, which are typically used for spacecraft missions.  Elliott expressed excitement about her song reaching Venus, symbolizing strength and empowerment. “My song ‘The Rain’ has officially been transmitted all the way to Venus, the planet that symbolizes strength, beauty and empowerment,” Elliott wrote on X. “The sky is not the limit, it’s just the beginning.” NASA highlighted Elliott's space-centric storytelling in her music videos and hinted at potential future collaborations. This transmission marks a unique moment in space exploration and celebrates Elliott's groundbreaking achievements in the music industry. Which song do you think should be transmitted into space?
