Astronaut for Hire

Buzz Aldrin's Rocket Experience

7/08/2009 08:55:00 AM

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Apollo Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin teamed up with Snoop Dogg and Talib Kweli to make a rap video called "Rocket Experience", which you can watch below. There's also a really funny video on the Making of the Rocket Experience. These videos are on YouTube too in case you want to watch them there.

According to Funny or Die, who produced the video, a portion of the proceeds from the song sales will go to ShareSpace Foundation, to further benefit and support the work of the National Space Society, The Planetary Society and the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.

Aldrin also has a new book commemorating the 40th anniversary titled Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. (Thanks for catching the error, spacekiwi!)
