Hear a Vinyl Record Played in Space for First Time
Jack White‘s Third Man Records has played a vinyl record in space for the first time ever.
The feat, which took place on July 2, was made possible with a space-proof turntable called the “Icarus Craft.” It was designed by former NASA associate Kevin Carrico in collaboration with SATINS (Students and Teachers in Near Space).

The endeavor took three years of planning and preparation.
