NASA has launched a new daring mission – only this time the space agency wants a rapper to help people understand about astrobiology.

The American space agency has commissioned a musician to record a rap about the study of life in the universe.

Jonathan Chase, who was approached by NASA because he uses hip hop to help understand science, said he was honoured.

"Being commissioned by NASA to produce the 'Astrology Rap' was a great compliment," he told the Metro.
