The 2024 Moon Landing Placed Music By Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Elvis & More on the Lunar Surface
The recent moon landing by a private company placed music from Elvis, Bob Marley and many more in a time capsule on the lunar surface.
Space Blue formed a partnership with Nash’s Beverly Hills Productions and Melody Trust — a company that owns the rights to some masters from a number of classic rock artists — for the purposes of this enterprise, appropriately titling it Lunar Records. On July 20, 1969, humans set foot on the moon for the time; just weeks later, the Summer of Love reached its pinnacle when 460,000 people gathered at the Woodstock Music Festival in a spirit of peaceful togetherness he hopes this capsule will evoke. Santana admits there’s a bit of historical irony here: many musicians of that generation pressured the U.S. government to stop spending money on lunar landings in favor of solving terrestrial problems, which was a part of the reason NASA suspended moon missions in 1972.
