MOS DEF REALLY NEEDS TO BE THE ONE GOING TO SPACE.

Rapper/actor Mos Def will team with Nasa to encourage students to pursue higher education using science and technology this Sunday (September 5th) in Oakland, California.

The rapper will team with famed African-American NASA astronaut Leland Melvin to debut a special holographic presentation at the Chabot Space & Science Center.

"Leland Melvin and myself are working with the Instituting Science in Schools Program, sponsored by NASA and I'm just here to give the young people some inspiration, some positive encouragement and some good information about science, technology, creativity and discovery and how to use math, science and information to make a positive impact and changes on the world around us," Mos Def told AllHipHop.com.

The event is free and open to the public and takes place from 11:00AM - 5:00PM.
