Missy Elliott's debut solo single 'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' has become the first hip-hop song to be transmitted into space, beamed 158 million miles to Venus by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The transmission took only 14 minutes, symbolizing a significant milestone for both space exploration and Elliott’s career. This achievement aligns with Elliott's history of pushing boundaries in her music and visuals, and follows her recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. NASA's collaboration with Elliott reflects a tradition of using music to inspire and engage new generations. Venus, chosen for its symbolism of strength and beauty, marks a fitting destination for the historic broadcast.
