Esta vez, la lección mensual de historia a cargo de Adam Young versa sobre la sonda espacial Voyager 1.
Adam Young Scores - Voyager 1
Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA in 1977 as part of the
Voyager program to study the outer Solar System. Having operated for the
past 39 years, the spacecraft still communicates and returns data to
us, and as of 2016, it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. When I
picture Voyager 1 out there beyond our solar system, I can’t help but
imagine the things it has seen on its journey. It’s flown by Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and beyond. In 1990, it looked back and took an
image known as the “Pale Blue Dot” which shows Earth 6 billion
kilometers away, a tiny white speck suspended in the darkness of deep
space. It was this breathtaking image that inspired me to create this
score because it reminds me that life, as far as we know, is unique to
our planet, and very fragile indeed.

Fiel a su cita, en 2025... ¿publicará su score número 100? Me juego 5 € a que sí.
Este parece la banda sonora quizá de Star Trek: The Motion Picture, la primera de las películas de la pandilla original, en la que caen en manos de V'Ger. Sólo recuerdo a la calva, que era muy guapa.
