Will the new rap song with Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Snoop Dog hit #1 on the charts?

Settled as No

Background: Buzz Aldrin Teams With Snoop Dogg For ‘Rocket Experience’
Published by MTV News on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 11:03 am.

In interviews last week, second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin teased that he was doing a rap video with Snoop Dogg that would be hitting the Web soon. That day is finally here, as “Rocket Experience” premiered last night. The video, directed by “Terminator: Salvation” helmer McG, shows the 79-year-old astronaut recording the track in the studio with Snoop, Talib Kweli and a series of back-up singers. There’s also plenty of footage of space travel mixed in, along with a cameo by Aldrin’s Video Music Award. (The MTV Moonman is actually modeled after an image of Aldrin sticking a flag on the moon in 1969.) The clip celebrates the 40th anniversary of Aldrin’s walk on the moon, but it’s not all fun and games: The song is also available for download, with a portion of the proceeds going to the SpaceShare Foundation.

The idea of Aldrin rapping is pretty funny, but he seems really sold on trying to get young people involved in science and the mysteries of space exploration.

: I believe black eyed peas were at number one for the whole duration of this question - this one certainly didnt make it. Since the question says settlement date is fixed, can this one be settled since its reached suspension date?

: The question has hit settlement date and there is no sign of it having been Number !. Looking at the Billboard list of Snoop Dogg's chart entries the song with Buzz Aldrin doesn't even show up.

Here's an actual video w/ Buzz, Snoop and others that's a comedic commentary on the making of the video...well worth seeing:
