Beatles Fanartikel

NASA played the song “Across the universe” to the cosmos on February 14, 2008 in its 50th anniversary and 40th anniversary of the song creation.

Transmission started at 00H00 GMT and it will point to “Polaris” star.


Paul McCartney was exited with this news and he sent a communication to NASA saying: "Amazing! Well done, NASA! Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."

John Lennon is the main creator of this song. His widow Yoko said: "It’s the beginning of a new era. One day we will communicate with millions of planets".

This is not the first time NASA uses a Beatles song. In November 2005 Paul McCartney “Good day Sunshine” and other Beatles songs in a concert and it was transmitted to the International Spatial Station IIS to tree wake astronaut.

NASA invited to all the people to play the songs in your own music players at the same time NASA transmit the song to the sky Across the Universe.
