and rap legend GZA has joined forces with Apple and NASA to help publicize the agency and its mission to explore the universe.<br \/>\nThe space-themed track was provided by the Genius to the National Aeronautic and Space Administration to celebrate the agency&#8217;s ongoing Juno Mission.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s \u201cJuno\u201d spaceship is expected to enter Jupiter\u2019s orbit on July 4th, after a five-year journey with the intention of studying the gassy planet\u2019s atmosphere and origins.<br \/>\nThe agency is bringing together different music artists that recorded songs inspired by the space agency\u2019s mission to Jupiter dubbed \u201cJuno.\u201d<br \/>\nGZA\u2019s song \u201cThe Spark\u201d is the first single from the project, which is titled \u201cDestination: Juno\u201d and the single presents a history of the universe.<br \/>\nApple is planning to release a documentary that features Juno mission\u2019s principal investigator, Scott Bolton, with a soundtrack scored by Trent Reznor.<\/p>\n<p>For the past several years, GZA has been hard at work on his seventh solo album, tentatively titled Dark Matter and is going to have a lot in common with the general theme of the Destination Juno project, as it seeks to explore themes of space and time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6MozeQsshEg\" frameborder=\"0\"
