A Croatian song is going to be played on Mars! Among many popular songs of Queen, Ramones, Rolling Stones, Sting etc., a Croatian hit back from the 1980s performed by the legendary singer Miso Kovac has found its place on the music list or to be more precise on the Mars billboard.

Three years ago when the Curiosity rover celebrated its first anniversary of its mission on Mars, the Croatian daily news ''24 sata'' decided to send NASA its music request. Thus they sent lyrics of the 1980s hit ''Poljubi zemlju'' (Kiss the land) translated into English and three years later ''24 sata'' have received a reply from NASA.

''The lyrics are extremely touching and we are sure it sounds beautiful in Croatian. Thank you for sending it, it has made the selection of songs which will be played (on Mars)'', NASA wrote to ''24sata''. The American space agency also added that the song would be played soon on the rover Opportunity which was the only active rover currently on Mars.
“When they play my song on Mars it will be my biggest music success, and the biggest for a Croatian musician ever”, said Miso Kovac after hearing the news.
