This piece is inspired by NASA’s “Voyager” project, which was brought to mind by the recent mission to Mars. The two Voyager probes were launched into space in 1977 on a mission to explore the Solar System and beyond. They have now travelled far beyond Pluto and are still hurtling away from Earth at a speed of about 40,000 miles per hour! The music is intended to capture the spirit of a relentless journey into the unknown.
