Elliott’s famous song “The Rain” sent to Venus – Entertainment

(Web Desk) – For the first time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has transmitted the lyrics of Missy Elliot’s popular song “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” to Venus, about 158 ​​million miles away, via DSN (Deep Space Network).

According to a report released on July 15, the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California made the transmission on July 12 at 10:05 a.m. PDT.

In 2008, NASA sent the Beatles song “Across the Universe” into space. The rapper’s debut single from 1997 was the first hip-hop song to be sent into space.

Elliott reacted to this historic moment, saying on X: “YOOO this is crazy! We just went #OutOfThisWorld with @NASA and sent the FIRST hip hop song into space via the Deep Space Network.”

“My song ‘The Rain’ has officially been broadcast to Venus, the planet that symbolizes strength, beauty and empowerment. The sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning,” she continued in the post, using alien emojis.

Quoted by NASA, Elliott said, “I still can’t believe I’m leaving this world with NASA via the Deep Space Network when ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ becomes the first hip-hop song ever to be transmitted into space! I chose Venus because it symbolizes strength, beauty and empowerment, and I’m so touched by the opportunity to share my art and message with the universe!”

The DSN features an array of giant radio antennas that allow missions to track, send commands, and receive scientific data from spacecraft venturing to the Moon and beyond.

It is the largest and supposedly most sensitive telecommunications service of NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program.

“Both space exploration and Missy Elliott’s art were about pushing boundaries,” said Brittany Brown, director of the Digital and Technology Division of the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
