RELEASE: 12-229

NASA ASTRONAUT SPINS DISCS FROM SPACE FOR THIRD ROCK RADIO

WASHINGTON -- NASA astronaut Joe Acaba will host a two-hour special 
radio broadcast on the Internet radio station Third Rock Radio while 
aboard the International Space Station, 240 miles above Earth. "The 
Joe Show: New Rock from Space" will debut at 4 p.m. EDT, Friday, Aug. 
3. 

Acaba, a fan of classic rock, will discuss his experiences aboard the 
orbiting laboratory while presenting new rock to listeners around the 
world. The Joe Show is a blend of science, technology, engineering 
and mathematics (STEM) and art. It highlights the latest technology, 
all within the context of "exploring new worlds of music." 

"I'm excited to be the first astronaut to DJ from space on Third Rock 
Radio," Acaba said. "From the recordings launched aboard the Voyager 
spacecraft to the wakeup songs on shuttle missions, NASA and music 
have a long history together. As a former educator, I also appreciate 
the strong links between music and math, one of the core STEM 
components that is so critical to my work as an astronaut." 

Third Rock Radio is produced under a NASA Space Act Agreement with RFC 
Media of Houston. It was created to help cultivate new interest in 
STEM among hard-to-reach young Americans. 

Third Rock Radio can be streamed for free from the NASA homepage at 
http://www.nasa.gov and via the TuneIn mobile app, which is available 
for smart phones and tablet computers through both the Google Play 
and iTunes app stores.
