The music of will.i.am is to be broadcast into outer space.

In a move that may well provoke an unpleas­ant inter­galactic incident and if it does DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU, Mr i.am has been asked by NASA to soundtrack a future Mars mission. will's track will then be played back to mission control at Houston, Texas.

The Sun's 'close source' at NASA believes that Intel's Director Of Creative Innovation is an "ideal figure to appeal to a main­stream audience and promote their technologies".

will has pre­vi­ously recorded a public service announce­ment with NASA and is "always keen to get involved in their projects."

(He's a bit nosey basically.)
