Thirty Seconds To Mars Up In The Air
ZitatThirty Seconds to Mars (previously stylized as 30 Seconds to Mars), Jared Leto's rock band, is sending its new song into space.
NASA and SpaceX will launch "Up in Air," the new song, from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It will travel aboard a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo capsule and land at the International Space Station, where it will be greeted by astronaut Tom Marshburn.
The launch is scheduled for a 10:10 a.m. liftoff and can be watched live at NASA's live-stream website. In case you're wondering if sending a song is an efficient use of a rocket heading to space, fear not: The Dragon capsule will be loaded with over 1,200 pounds of scientific paraphernalia.
