You know we always do it bigger and better in Houston, so it should be no surprise we're getting another out of this world broadcast thanks to an astronaut.
NASA's Third Rock Radio is hosting the return of The Joe Show, a transmission from 250 miles above the Earth on board the International Space Station (ISS).
He will share his new rock discoveries along with a peek behind the curtain of an astronaut in space.
Acaba last played a space DJ in 2012 for Third Rock Radio.
"From the recordings launched aboard the Voyager spacecraft to the wake up songs on shuttle missions, NASA and music have a long history together," Acaba said in a statement back then. "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.

I know people used to say rock DJs were a little spacey, but this takes it to a whole new level!
