The 'Knights of Cydonia' hitmakers are keen to travel on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic commercial intergalactic flight when the scheme takes off, and would use the experiences to add a new dimension to their career.

Frontman Matt Bellamy said: “We're trying to blag a free trip on it [Virgin Galactic]. I'm going to try to convince Richard Branson to let us make a music video or record a song up there. I think that would be cool. Would I be scared? I think I'll be alright."

Matt – whose fiancee Kate Hudson is due to give birth to their first child next month – has previously spoken of his fascination with the moon.

He said: "The crowd in Moscow were probably the most intense we've ever had. They were going mental and they bought me a big telescope. It's a big, real, serious piece. I set it up when I got home and looked at the moon. F**king hell, have you ever looked at the moon through a telescope? It's all mountains and stuff, it's unbelievable."
