Radio Curiosity broadcasts will.i.am's 'Reach for the Stars'

No there is no such station anywhere but Curiosity managed to broadcast back 2 sound clips from Mars. The first was returned on the Monday and consisted of a message from NASA's Administrator C.F. Bolden.

In it he talked about the importance of Mars missions with a mention about human missions that will proceed on information returned by the robotic pioneers.

The second sound clip was returned on Tuesday and consisted of a  song by the musician will.i.am. The song's titled 'Reach for the Stars' and other than being cool (Curiosity just broadcast it. It never played as it hasn't any set of amps) the song's purpose was to instil inspiration in to the minds of young people to take up science and maths in their careers. That was thoughtful! You can read about and listen to the broadcast here. Look out for the Mohawk!

The adventure is just getting started folks! Stay tuned.
