London (ANI): Singer Snoop Dogg has teamed up with Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin to record a rap single Rocket Experience. Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon, said he had reached his second mission of becoming a rap star, thanks to the collaboration with the hip hop artist.

Aldrin has continued his attempts to revive interest in space exploration and the track video, he revealed, was one such step. “Young people have lost any interest in space that isn"t in a video game or a movie house. Many don"t really know that Man has stood on the Moon," Times Online quoted him as saying.

“But these incredible rappers speak to the new generations and know how to reach them. The Americans who will take Man to Mars are already born and they don"t even know that space is Man"s fate," he added.
