When Rock Stars and Astronauts Collide in Orbit
In short: What happens when a NASA flight engineer meets a rock band in space? This video captures a unique cultural exchange between Expedition 35 and the band 30 Seconds to Mars.
On March 18, NASA Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn hosted a cross-disciplinary dialogue from the International Space Station. The session featured research discussions and a Q&A with lead singer Jared Leto, who submitted questions via social media during the band's tour of Mission Control in Houston.
The collaboration highlights a growing intersection between the arts and aerospace. The Los Angeles-based group, formed in 1998, are dedicated space enthusiasts who recently had a sample of their music delivered to the station via a SpaceX/Dragon cargo ship for the crew to enjoy.
