Waltz into Space: Why The Blue Danube Waltz was not on the Voyager Golden Records | Vienna

The selection process for the two Voyager Golden Records, launched from Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA) in 1977, was a limited collection of music and cultural artifacts. These included 116 images, natural sounds from Earth, spoken greetings in 55 languages, and 27 of the world’s greatest songs. Notably, neither of the Voyager probes – now the most distant human-made objects in space – included Johann Strauss II’s ultimate Anthem of Space, The Blue Danube Waltz. Find out what may have happened when this iconic piece was left behind on Earth.
