One Direction are hoping to go one better than rapper Will.I.Am, with Black Eyed Peasstar may have become the first artist to have his track [uuid=b6fb2e39-431f-4209-a3b2-ce4e0f9b9c01]Reach For The Stars premiere on Mars[/uuid], but Niall claims he is hoping 1D will be the first act ever to sell their music outside of Planet Earth.
Speaking to The Sun, the Irish singer joked: "I think our goal for ten years down the line should be to sell a single in outer space and be the first band to do so.
"I want aliens to buy our music. It is worth a shot and is obtainable."
Bandmate Louis Tomlinson added: "We should speak to that band 30 Seconds To Mars – they could probably help us."
