Thirty Seconds To Mars is launching its new single, “Up In The Air,” literally.

On Friday (March 1), the Jared Leto-led band will be in Florida to watch the launch of SpaceX”s cargo mission to the International Space Station. The capsule will carry 1,200 pounds of cargo and a copy of the group”s new tune.
