'Blue Danube' by Johann Strauss II will be transmitted into space by the European Space Agency (ESA) this month to celebrate the composer's anniversary. The ESA plans to send a pre-recorded version from a rehearsal, directing it towards Voyager 1, which previously carried other notable music but missed this piece. ESA's director general emphasized music’s ability to connect cultures across time and space, suggesting this act could inspire future generations of space explorers.
ESA's director general Josef Aschbacher stated, 'Music connects us all through time and space in a very particular way.' This sentiment underscores the unity that music can inspire.
The European Space Agency will transmit a pre-recorded version of 'Blue Danube' into space, directed towards Voyager 1, celebrating Strauss' contribution 200 years after his birth.
