Ringo Starr’s birthday message of peace and love is part of NASA’s Lucy mission

Ringo Starr celebrated his 84th birthday on Sunday with his annual Peace and Love event in Los Angeles, and his message of peace and love has spread not only around the globe but also into space.

Ringo just shared a video from NASA containing a message he sent to their Lucy Missionthe first mission to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids.

The video explains that the Lucy mission board contains “words of advice, words of wisdom, words of joy and words of inspiration” for those who might read it in the future. It contains several of these messages from writers, poet laureates and others, including one from Ringo.

“A little loud, but I’m so excited,” Ringo announces after playing his drums. “Lucy is going back to heaven with diamonds,” adding “Johnny is going to love this,” referring to his late Beatles Bandmate John Lennon.

He adds, “Anyway, if you meet anyone up there, Lucy, give them my regards.”

“I want to thank NASA for the beautiful moment they sent me for my birthday, the Lucy mission, peace and love to everyone up there in heaven, peace and love,” Ringo shared on Instagram.

NASA added: “There are many stars in our galaxy, but only one @ringostarrmusic. Happy birthday! Your message from #Peace and Love is currently flying through the solar system on board our #LucyMission– the first mission to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids.”
