Space Rap

NASA has commissioned a twenty-eight-year-old science communication student from south Wales to write rap songs about space:

A postgraduate student who uses his love of hip-hop to make science easier to understand has been commissioned by space agency NASA to write a rap.

Jonathan Chase, who is studying at the University of Glamorgan in south Wales, was asked to come up with the Astrobiology Rap for a NASA magazine . . . .

The song features lyrics like: “We’ve been on Earth for many years and we are still producing answers; as time passes, collective knowledge advances.”

Of course it would be good to see increased enthusiasm for science in elementary students. What’s humorous is imagining NASA scientists enthusiastic about hip-hop.
