Hou-Stone – we have a problem! Mick Jagger poses like he’s going 2,000 Light Years From Home as he straps into a spacecraft simulator at Nasa HQ

He once sang about being 2000 light years away from home.

But the closest Mick Jagger will get to space appears to be at the Houston Space Center.

The Rolling Stones frontman met with a series of astronauts, checked out NASA’s mission control room and was strapped into a spacecraft simulator during his visit Friday.

The band are in the Texan city to kick off their 19-date Hackney Diamonds tour of the US and Canada, which starts tonight.

Jagger, 80, posted photos of his day out on Instagram and thanked NASA “for being so welcoming” and astronauts Josh Cassada, Bob Hines and Jessica Meir for showing him around.
