Supa-flying to Venus! For the first time, a hip-hop song has been transmitted #OutOfThisWorld. Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" traveled 158 million miles to Venus through NASA's Deep Space Network from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Deep Space Station 13 in California: https://lnkd.in/ePP299YB

I wonder what is that black spot at the south pole!

That's incredible! Making history by being the first hip-hop song transmitted to Venus is a testament to how art and science can intersect in exciting ways. This milestone not only highlights the capabilities of NASA's Deep Space Network but also brings a cultural touch to space exploration.  While this unique project is exciting, NASA's primary objective of searching for life in deep space remains steadfast and continues to drive their missions. Looking forward to more such innovative and inspiring projects! #SpaceExploration #MusicInSpace #NASA #DeepSpaceNetwork #Innovation #SearchForLife

Can someone please explain to me, how Missy Elliott's song traveled about 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) from Earth to Venus? Unless Venus's planetary orbit is diametrically opposite of Earth's planetary orbit around the sun, I don't understand the mathematical calculation of 158 million miles. From my limited astronomy knowledge, more often (seemingly) Venus is approximately 66 million miles from the Sun and Earth is around 93 million miles, Consequently, I am perplexed at the mathematical figure of 158 million miles (especially when transmitted at the speed of light). Thanks in advance for the guidance -

You see, the 'S' is for super, and the 'U' is for unique The 'P' is for perfection and you know that we are freaks The 'E' is for exotic, and the 'R' is for raps So tell those nosy people just to stay the hell back! Supersonic My bad that's J..J. Fad 🤔 😯 😆 😂 😎 Sorry, It's all I could hear in mah head!

get this curiosity out of me guys: friend, if I make a spaceship that works with weights set in fast motion that hit the tip of the spaceship safely and without damaging the spaceship, could I have a forward thrust? example I make a long spaceship I put some weights in the tail and I push them with electricity or I shoot them forward towards the tip of the spaceship this will allow me to have a push forward if I create a very fast cycle I could basically move the spaceship forward when I want. as if I transfer the kinetic energy of the weights moving at great speed forward and the tip of the spaceship acts as an accumulator for this kinetic energy once enough kinetic energy has accumulated from the weights the ship will move forward. we could implement this system in case the spaceship runs out of fuel but not without energy. it would be like a worm moving in space this image I have.
