Listen to the music that the Beagle 2 probably played on Mars in 2003
This isn't the first human music to make it off-planet of course. The golden records onboard the Voyager spacecraft contain an eclectic playlist including Bach, Beethoven, Chuck Berry, and Blind Willie Johnson. In 2012 will.i.am's single "Reach for the Stars" became the first ever music broadcast from Mars to Earth. And as far as music played out loud goes, well, the Curiosity rover probably holds the title: in August 2013 it used its soil analysis system to vibrate a buzzy rendition of "Happy Birthday To You" from Mars. For my liking though, Blur still holds the title for "best space music" simply for their single "Far Out" — the lyrics of which are mostly just a list of moons and stars, including the catchy line: "Phoebe, Io, Elara, Leda, Callisto, Sinope, Janus, Dione, Portia. So many moons!"
