30 Seconds to Mars Release New Single into space by audioinkradio.com
JARED LETO-FRONTED 30 SECONDS TO MARS ARE LAUNCHING THEIR LATEST TRACK INTO SPACE
Alternative rockers 30 Seconds to Marsare gearing up for the release of their new album, and they’re doing it up big. This morning (March 1), the band launched their new single, “Up in the Air,” literally up in the air.
Specifically, the debut copy of the single was packed inside the 1,200 pounds of cargo and other scientific gear being transferred from Florida’s Cape Canaveral to the International Space Station, according to Rolling Stone. This is certainly a first, and the guys in the band — Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic — were all slated to appear in Florida to stare into the air as the Space Exploration Technologies cargo capsule holding their track, the magazine reports.
“Up in the Air” will officially premiere to the world on March 18. The band has announced they will premiere the track and conduct a live online interview with none other than astronaut Tom Marshburn, who will be on the space craft. Find more information about the event on 30 Seconds to Mars’ official website. “Up in the Air” will be released via all the major digital outlets on March 19.

@30SECONDSTOMARS LAUNCH ‘UpInTheAir’ single into space by @Loudwire
30 SECONDS TO MARS TO LAUNCH ‘UP IN THE AIR’ SINGLE INTO OUTER SPACE
It may not quite reach the red planet, but 30 Seconds to Mars are about to make their debut in the realm of outer space. The band’s new single ‘Up in the Air’ will actually be launched into orbit on Friday (March 1) to eventually reach its destination of the International Space Station.
‘Up in the Air’ is the first single from 30 Seconds to Mars’ as-yet-untitled fourth album, which will see a 2013 release. The band has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of what an act is capable of, setting a Guinness World Record for Most Shows Played During a Single Album Cycle, racking up a total of 311 shows in nearly 60 countries on six continents over a period of two years while supporting their 2009 full-length, ‘This Is War.’
As if the band’s previous accomplishments weren’t epic enough, including over 5 million albums sold worldwide, this next astronomical event will take place on March 1 at 10:10 AM ET as ‘Up in the Air’ is rocketed into outer space. The very first copy of ‘Up in the Air’ will be part of a SpaceX cargo mission carrying over 1,200 pounds of scientific equipment and another miscellaneous gear needed to aid astronauts within the International Space Station.
Fans will be able to watch the launch live thanks to NASA, who also offer full details and updates on the mission via their official website. 30 Seconds to Mars will also meet with Tom Marshburn, one of the astronauts currently aboard the space station, on March 18. The chat will also be broadcast online, with specific details soon to be announced on 30 Seconds to Mars’ website.
‘Up in the Air’ will make its Planet Earth debut on March 19.

Thirty Seconds to Mars Sends Song to Space!

Thirty Seconds to Mars (previously 30 Seconds to Mars) is sending their newest single “Up in the Air” into space!
There is something very poetic in that, isn’t there?
Or we could make the joke about how now Thirty Seconds to Mars is out of this world.
NASA and SpaceX will launch the song into space from Cape Canaveral where it will be traveling on a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo capsule. It will land on the International Space Station where astronaut Tom Marshburn will greet it.
Marshburn and the band will do a live Q&A the day of the song’s release March 8th. It will be available on their website.
This is not the first song sent into space. Most of the music that has been launched is mainly classical. However in 2008, NASA did beam The Beatles “Across the Universe” into deep space.
Also if you think this a pretty big promotional step for the band’s next album due out in later 2013, then clearly you don’t they are world record holders. They spent two years touring their previous album “This Is War” setting a Guiness World Record for most shows played in support for a single album (311 plus shows in 60 countries on six continents). Clearly Thirty Seconds to Mars sees the adage “Go big or go home” as a personal challenge.
What do you guys think about this? Pretty cool, huh?
