lethargic_manOn 20 August 1977 the Voyager 1 probe was launched, carrying, along with all its scientific instruments, a gold-plated record with (inter alia) music from planet Earth. Rock and roll was represented by Chuck Berry's immortal "Jonny B. Goode".
On 20 August 2017, forty years to the day later, NASA launched the Postman 2 spacecraft, bound, like its predecessor Postman 1, for the outermost reaches of the Solar System. This, too, bore a gold-plated record, and on it the twin worlds of rock and roll were represented by the Elvis Presley track... (wait for it)... "Return To Sedna".
