DESCRIPTION:The Hip-Hop Deep-Space Monument / Mission (HHDSM) is a planned 
 time capsule consisting of 50-100 of the culture's musical masterworks\; t
 he recordings with which\, if the world was destroyed\, one could perhaps 
 start the culture over again.\n\n \n\nOur objective\, in 2029 — the 50th
  anniversary of "Rapper's Delight"'s release — is to launch this archive
  on an interstellar journey toward a nearby exoplanet.\n\n \n\nIn this tal
 k\, Harry will discuss the reasoning behind the HHDSM. Harry will explain 
 the early and ongoing experiences which led him to become fascinated with 
 hip-hop\, outer space\, and\, especially\, the time capsule as a unique fo
 rm of spatio-temporal communication and monument-making. Also\, Harry will
  elaborate on the unique challenges the project faces.\n\n \n\nFinally\, t
 hough hip-hop has gone from relative insignificance to planetary dominance
 \, he will reason on the need for it to claim its most expansive territory
  yet: The universe.
