Curiously, the DSS-13 antenna has been given the nickname “Venus,” including a becoming coincidence to the occasion.
“I nonetheless cannot imagine I am going out of this world with Nasathrough the Deep House Community when ‘The Rain’ (Supa Dupa Fly) turns into the first-ever hip-hop tune to transmit to house.

Nasa has deliberate two missions to check Venus, DAVINCI and VERITAS, which is able to transmit data again to Earth through the Deep House Community (DSN). Deep Ambiance Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging or DAVINCI, is scheduled for launch by 2029.
The second mission, Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy or VERITAS, is anticipated to launch by 2031. Though this marks the primary occasion of a hip hop tune being despatched to outer house, it’s not the primary tune total.
In 2018, Nasa transmitted the Beatles’ tune “Throughout The Universe” into deep house, making it the pioneering musical composition to attain this feat.
