Is it April yet? No? Okay, well, apparently NASA are planning to 'beam' Beatles track 'Across The Universe' across the universe. They'll aim it at the North Star on 4 Feb, and it should arrive there in approximately 2439AD. It will commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the recording of the track, as well as a couple of space exploration milestones, including the forty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the deep space antenna network.
Paul McCartney says: "Amazing! Well done NASA! Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul".
Yoko Ono says. "I see that this is the beginning of the new age in which we will communicate with billions of planets across the universe".
