Jack White has played the first ever record in space. Ish.
Obviously, Jack White hasn’t actually been to space – you can’t break the planet’s atmosphere in a craft purely made of vinyl and reel-to-reel tape – but his label Third Man Records have launched a “space proof” turntable called the Icarus Craft attached to a high-altitude balloon.
The player was spinning Carl Sagan’s ‘A Glorious Dawn’, a single Third Man released in 2010.
You can watch a video of the whole thing below. Mankind has truly made a giant leap.
