Having conquered this planet, Moby is setting his sights on new territory. The techno-pop sensation took time off from his world tour for an impromptu course in astronaut training from NASA.

The bald enigma, who sported a NASA-inspired spacesuit in his new video, "We Are All Made of Stars." jumped at the chance to poke around the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, this month.

Moby, describing the trip in a Web log on his Internet site, demonstrates a natural appreciation for the paradoxically super-cool and super-geeky world of space exploration.
