Jack White’s Third Man Records made history by successfully playing a phonographic record in space.
The label launched a vessel called the Icarus Craft that had a built-in “space-proof” turntable. As the spacecraft flew up (by a balloon) outside Marsing, Idaho, it played a gold-plated record of Third Man’s 2010 release of Carl Sagan’s “A Glorious Dawn.” The two-hour footage of the space endeavor can be seen above. If you’re a little spare on time, a truncated clip is below.
