I'm not a fan of BEP, but will.i.am is the first musician in history to have a song broadcast on Mars. Here, he is with former astonaut Leland Melvin. It doesn't get more Black Excellence than that. :wow:

In yet another space exploration first, an orchestral tune written and performed by the Black-Eyed Peas front man was beamed back to Earth Tuesday by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover.

Launched with Curiosity aboard an Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station last November, the song — entitled "Reach For The Stars" — is the first musical composition to be transmitted to Earth from another planet.

The unprecedented radio communications came about after NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden called the entertainer — a space geek who went to a science magnet school — and asked if he wanted to join the agency's effort to attract young students to science, technology, engineering and mathematics classes.
