Canadian Astronaut Creates First Music Video in Space

Who would’ve known that technology would become so advanced by 2013 that we could create music videos in space? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who is expected to return to Earth after five months at the International Space Station, commemorated his trip with this awe-inspiring music video.

Hadfield sang a revised version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” while playing the guitar floating throughout the ship. We at PMBC Group, Los Angeles PR firm, were very impressed by Hadfield’s rendition, a quite emotional and well sung ballad all shot with a view of just how far he is from Mother Earth. Hadfield has won many followers, tweeting and posting from space about life away from home. He’s even recently hosted a singalong with thousands of Canadian schoolchildren, all from space. Integrating social media so well with space exploration, we can’t wait to see what this means for future trips to space as well as Hadfield when he gets back to Earth.

One-Way Ticket to Mars Accepting Applications

Life on Mars, now that’s truly something. In a society where patrons are soon to have self-driving cars, unprecedented health discoveries and widely accessible wearable computers (Google Glass), it’s only fair to discuss inhabiting Mars.  On Monday, Mars One CEO, Bas Lansdrop, announced the search for volunteers, from the age of 18 to 40, to enter for the chance to win a one-way ticket to Mars.

Ten years ago the notion behind colonizing on the Red Planet was a mere Hollywood plot line. Today the entertainment industry is turning a summer blockbuster into reality and a cash cow. As a multi-tier PR agency focused on technology PR, we see the whole new platform that will be launched from this journey. Mars One alone has potential to single-handedly change the way people not only advertise an idea but new avenues for pressing news unlike ever before.

Would you apply for a one-way ticket to Mars?

Algorithms Galore, Are You Prepared for the Robonaut Challenge?

April 1st was anything but a joke for those over at NASA as their Tournament Lab released, what PMBC Group considers, the best contest by far. The Robonaut Challenge calls all robotics and computer aficionados for the chance not only at winning $10,000 but the golden ticket for NASA fans to work on the International Space Station (ISS).

The challenge consists of creating algorithms to successfully implement Robonaut 2 to learn elementary duties on the taskboard, more specifically, to identify commands on an LED board. NASA created several taskboards for Robonaut 2 to work with in order to help those in the ISS perform ordinary day-to-day tasks such as cleaning and maintaining the station. Challenges will run for three weeks alongside another separate challenge which is programing the sight of Robonaut 2. We’re just eager to see how this challenge pans out, not just to see who is the winner but to witness the future of technology and space.

How do you forecast the outcome of Robonaut 2?
