I do not receive the Science Channel in my basic cable package.
I do however receive the Discovery Channel which, over the years, ends up treating me with nekked folks in the woods and stupid attempts at gaining rating points, I guess?
But I just discovered that the Discovery Channel 'becomes' the Science Channel on the weekends and other days (I assume since I get to watch Mythbusters again.)
Anyway, THE SCIENCE CHANNEL ROCKS!
MUSIC ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
I have been watching the Science Channel most of the night but, I guess, according to Huffpo, tomorrow
is the time to view the Science Channel.
Evidently, the first astronauts to orbit the moon did so before we landed the first humans on the moon.
And whilst these astronauts found themselves on the far side of the moon, they found their radios filled with 'strange music'.
Now, I must interject with a few inner thoughts of my own.
First, you need atmosphere in order to hear things.
In space, no matter how many sci-fi movies you have seen; THERE IS NO NOISE IN SPACE!
But the news involves radio 'pick-ups',
And of course NASA recorded all radio communications at the time.
Second, we on the planet Earth see one side of the moon. This fact is strange all by itself.
The moon seems to only rotate at some strange rate that we only get to see one side of the moon.
Third, the astronauts, according to this Science Channel production, discussed whether or not they should publish the fact that they 'heard' music over their radio system whilst finding themselves on the dark side of the moon.
Now there are two ideas I gather from this expose?
First, how in the hell did the astronauts receive musical sounds from their radio network on the far side of the moon?
Second, why would the astronauts wish to cover this up?
Now as an amateur astrophysicist, I have some idea of Einstein's theory regarding gravitational forces and the effect of these forces on light or light waves.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon
So why can't moon gravitational forces affect radio waves from earth? And then 'pull' those radio waves around its girth?
Well, like a number of issues, I plead idiocy. hahhahahahha
I just find this entire idea fascinating.
So tune into the Science Channel tomorrow (or the Discovery Channel) and find out!
I am just fascinated that humans heard music on the dark side of the moon almost fifty years ago. hahahahah
There should be a song!
There is wonder
On the far side of the moon
There are wonders
On the dark side of the moon.
Oh well, Mr. Smith, our resident poet should come up with something.

I love this story ... DJs from Venus playin' stacks of wax that are out of this world!!! AND all the latest hits from the greatest bands in the galaxy!!
The lunar far side
may become the Twilight Zone,
once in a blue moon.

Hey Dick... I hope you're well...
Maybe it was Jerry and the Boys. They were known to "get out there"...

Don't get bamboozled.
It's only a paper moon,
a golden rod sun

If it was a paper moon, they'd have read it.
But they heard it. So must've been a be-bop moon. And a mambo sun.

Maybe you were just dreaming, Dick. A Day-Dream.

According to the liner notes, this song is not titled Dark Side Of The Moon, but Brain Damage. It is from Pink Floyd's album Dark Side Of The Moon. But, it is the first thing I thought of when I read your title, Mr. Day.

There is no dark side - it's all dark.

Hi Flower!
Great song.

Maybe it was interstellar elevator music? You know, something to listen to until you get to the other side of the moon.
It had to have been transmitted over their communication system because as you said, there is no sound in space. Is this the only time it happened? In 1969? I'll bet it was the damn hippies.

Interstellar overdrive - set the controls for the heart of the sun.
(not the best version in those early years, but the 1966 dance scene and fashion is pretty fun to watch)

Flower this is four months late for chrissakes.
But interstellar elevator music has got to be the greatest line I read all year.
hahahhaahhah
This just got to me today.
Interstellar elevator music?
This line evidently did not hit me like this?
I hereby award Flower with the Dagblog line of the year (so far? but how might someone get better than this?) given to all of Flower from all of me. hahahahha
This line is stuck in my head forever. hahah
