"Music has always been at the centre of cultures all over the world
and it will continue to play an important part in thousands of years
time. Music has a role in the same way as technology and science in
reflecting the age we live in and generally exploring new areas beyond
the accepted boundaries and beyond Earth," said Mick Jagger on the
Music2Titan project.
Four songs 'Lalala', 'Bald James Deans', 'Hot Time' and 'No Love',
composed by musicians Julien Civange and Louis Haéri, hitched a 4000
million kilometre ride aboard ESA's Huygens, finally landing on Titan
on 14 January. Rock legend Mick Jagger gave his support to this unique
initiative.
"The music on board the spacecraft offers a very human touch to the
project and at the same time provides an important educational aspect
to the mission" said Jagger.
