NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is hoping to make history again by landing a bass player on the beat, which they expect to achieve by 2029.

Even though NASA claims that getting a bass player to land on the beat is possible in the next decade, many working in music production are less optimistic about their chances.

Music producers have spent decades trying to get a bass player to land on the beat and have used all sorts of tricks over the years both during recording and in post-production with editing and plugins. One top producer told us that since he was a small boy, he would stand in the studio at night and look up at the moon and think one day they'll put a bass player on the beat.

A NASA spokesperson says to achieve such a scientific miracle is going to take some of the sharpest minds in physics, in many cases they said; "It makes putting a man on the moon which is 384,400 km away from Earth seem like a cakewalk."

He continued; "As we learned from our previous endeavours, timing is everything, one wrong calculation and you can miss the glide path necessary to land in the right place. We've been working on many different projects since Apollo 11, but we've never had as many requests as we have had from music producers to try and get a bass player to land on the beat."

It seems there is a problem which science may need to solve; "In our early tests, we can see the problem, there seems to be some hidden force like magnetism that makes bass players land either before or after the beat, but never on the beat."

We polled several music producers to ascertain what they thought the chances are of seeing this happen in their lifetime; all of them thought there was more chance of an asteroid landing on their studio. One did comment; "Of course I'll never say never, if NASA can land a man on the moon, then maybe there's a chance they can land a bass player on the beat!"
