To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its first space mission, NASA is blasting the Beatles into space. Using those huge satellites from "Contact," those NASA folk will be transmitting the Beatles' "Across the Universe," a song recorded only a year before NASA was last relevant, in the general direction of the North Star. This is either the coolest thing NASA has done since it faked the moon landing, or the single greatest marketing campaign for a DVD release I've ever seen ("Across the Universe" comes out on Tuesday -- oh, and I heard it sucks, but whatevs).
