Earlier today (March 1), the first copy of 'Up In The Air' was launched from Cape Canaveral to the International Space Station in the SpaceX Dragon Cargo Capsule.

The single is set for release on March 19. 30 Seconds To Mars were in Florida to watch the galactic launch of the single, which is being transported by the Falcon 9 rocket, alongside in excess of 1,200 pounds of scientific experiments and cargo.

Your tax dollars at work.

Did someone say sequester?

Actually I support government funding of Mars and extraplanatary missions. On the other hand its time for the government to get out of orbital missions and let it be commercialized with the exception of military payloads..

Mars, in this case, has nothing to do with the planet. It is a corporate produce faux rock (ie pop) band. Some money came out of your pocket to send a copy of their music into space. Apparently they don’t know radio waves already travel there.

It sounded weird but I was just spouting on the concept..

Apparently they don’t know radio waves already travel there.

AND is one of the primary reasons that Aliens avoid planet Earth.

Meh. Honestly... it won’t take up much room on something that was going anyway.
