The music of Queen can be heard in just about every country around the globe, but now the legendary rock group is looking to take their music to a new area; space. Recently, the European Space Agency shared a parody video of Queen’s beloved song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ The space agency’s version includes engineers, scientists and even a cameo from Brian May.

While some may assume those working for the ESA don’t have much free time, some employees managed to find some time to recreate the lyrics to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and create a video to go with it. As seen in the viral video, the classic video is recreated with employees performing on vocals, guitar, bass, piano and a drum set made of Cluster satellite models. The parody even got the Queen stamp of approval, as Brian May appears briefly at the end.

Since being shared, the video has been viewed over 60,000 times. According to Space.com, the new version includes plenty of mentions of ESA missions, such as the appropriately named ‘Galileo.’ After this video, it’s time for NASA to do a parody of their own.
