Curiosity rover beams new will.i.am song from Mars Aug 28th 2012, 22:27 Published August 28, 2012 Associated Press Aug. 19, 2012: Musician will.i.am gives his acceptance speech for the "Music Artist" award during the "Do Something Awards" in Santa Monica, California. PASADENA, Calif. –  Will.i.am has premiered his new single -- from Mars. The NASA rover Curiosity beamed to Earth his new song "Reach for the Stars" on Tuesday in the first music broadcast from another planet, to the delight of students who gathered at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to listen. The song had been uploaded to the rover, which landed near the equator of Mars, and played it back -- a journey of some 700 million miles. The musician, who promotes science and mathematics education, was among more than a dozen celebrities who were invited to JPL to watch Curiosity's landing earlier this month. Others included Wil Wheaton, Seth Green and Morgan Freeman. In 2008, NASA beamed the Beatles' "Across the Universe" into the cosmos to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the song.
