NASA sent a song by an American hip-hop artist to Venus (3 photos + 1 video)
Well, at least someone is busy. The experiment is, of course, interesting, but is it really possible to mock the Venusians like that? 
The American space agency NASA spoke about an interesting experiment that made it possible to deliver data to Venus at the speed of light. This data turned out to be the song The Rain by American hip-hop artist Missy Elliott.
This is the first rap that the Universe heard. And what’s surprising is that it didn’t collapse
As for the choice of music, Brittany Brown, director of digital technology for the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said that "both space exploration and Missy Elliott's work are about pushing boundaries."
NASA also explained that there are few
useless
With a strange experiment, the agency is trying to attract people to study the Universe and the Solar system in particular.
DSN is the largest and most sensitive telecommunications service of the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program, which is equipped with many giant radio antennas
It is reported that the song was sent using a 34-meter deep space communications antenna complex, which is located in California. The radio frequency signal, transmitted at the speed of light, traveled 254 million kilometers in just 14 minutes.
NASA reported that they themselves invited the singer to participate in the experiment and even allowed her to choose the planet to which her work would go.
“I still can’t believe that I went beyond this world with NASA through the Deep Space Network, and the song “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” became the first hip-hop song in history to be transmitted into space!
I chose Venus because it symbolizes strength, beauty and emancipation, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my art and message with the universe!" Elliott said.
