There is a knock on your door

Targaryen had a quick thing to say said Wed, Aug 8th 2018 at 9:50am ET

It’s a representative for NASA. They’re asking for your suggestion for a song to send on a gold record into space. What song are you sending?

- @medz Hah, it’s funny because I floated the idea here to send a Fuku bag to space as a stunt using a weather balloon. Didn’t get far unfortunately, but it was interesting reading how others did it.

Only one song is good enough. Not sure if this adds YouTube… Slightly NSFW if you work in somewhere very conservative.
