NASA Beams Missy Elliott’s “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” To Venus

Stereogum - 128 days ago - When the Hype Williams-directed video for Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott’s debut single “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” hit MTV in 1997, it felt like a transmission from deep space. Now, that song is a transmission into deep space. Last Friday, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory beamed “The Rain” to Venus via the agency’s Deep Space Network. It’s only the second song ever to be transmitted into deep space. (The first was the Beatles’ “Across The Universe” — a pretty on-the-nose selection — in 2008.)
