The live performance will provide the accompaniment.<\/p>\n<p>The radio signals will hurtle away at the speed of light, or a mind-blowing 670 million mph (more than 1 billion kph).<\/p>\n<p>That will put the music past the moon in 1 \u00bd seconds, past Mars in 4 \u00bd minutes, past Jupiter in 37 minutes and past Neptune in four hours. Within 23 hours, the signals will be as far from Earth as NASA&#8217;s Voyager 1, the world&#8217;s most distant spacecraft at more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) in interstellar space.<\/p>\n<p>NASA also celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008 by transmitting a song directly into deep space: the Beatles&#8217; &#8220;<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nasa-launching-beatles-tune-into-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Across the Universe.&#8221;<\/a><\/span> And last year, NASA beamed up Missy Elliott&#8217;s\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/missy-elliott-song-outer-space-venus-nasa\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)&#8221; toward Venus.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Music has even flowed from another planet to Earth \u2014 courtesy of a NASA Mars rover.

The late astronomer Carl Sagan led the committee that chose Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Stravinsky pieces, along with modern and Indigenous selections.<\/p>\n<p>Among those skipped was Strauss, whose &#8220;Blue Danube&#8221; graced Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s 1968 sci-fi opus &#8220;2001: A Space Odyssey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The tourist board in Vienna, where Strauss was born on Oct. 25, 1825, said it aims to correct this &#8220;cosmic mistake&#8221; by sending the &#8220;the most famous of all waltzes&#8221; to its destined home among the stars.<\/p>\n<p>ESA&#8217;s big radio antenna in Spain, part of the space agency&#8217;s deep-space network, will do the honors. The dish will be pointed in the direction of Voyager 1 so the &#8220;Blue Danube&#8221; heads that way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Music connects us all through time and space in a very particular way,&#8221; ESA&#8217;s director general Josef Aschbacher said in a statement. &#8220;The European Space Agency is pleased to share the stage with Johann Strauss II and open the imaginations of future space
