Green Day are officially floating in space.
Rather, Green Day floated in space and now they are relaxing on the surface of Mars. The band revealed on Monday, November 26th, that a microchip etched with the phrase “Green Day Since 1986” was included in NASA’s InSight Mars Lander, which touched down on the planet’s Elysium Planitia earlier that day. The phrase is a reference to the year the legendary punk trio was formed by then teenage pals singer Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt.
“Officially landed on Mars,” the group announced on their Twitter feed. “Out of this world.”
