Soothe aliens with music

* NASA has decided to beam across the universe the Beatles’ song recorded 40 years ago. The music will be digitised and beamed through its deep-space communications network on a 431 light year journey to the North Star, Polaris, where it is scheduled to arrive in 2439.
* The song is titled “Across the Universe”.
* Today is the 45th anniversary of NASA’s deep-space communications network and 50th anniversary of NASA’s foundation.

I am sure NASA is doing a commendable job :P
But on some serious note, I have lots of expectation from KEO project.
