Beyoncé skyrockets with message to Atlantis astronauts

International superstar Beyoncé recorded a touching message for the crew of the final NASA shuttle mission, which was then broadcast to them in space. 

Her message to the astronauts on board Atlantis was played over the space craft's speaker system and she dedicated part of her speech to the sole female among them, Sandy Magnus:

"Good morning Atlantis. This is Beyoncé. Sandy, Chris, Doug, and Rex, you inspire all of us to dare to live our dreams... This song is especially for my girl, Sandy, and all the women who’ve taken us to space with them, and the girls who are our future explorers."

The singer also sent the crew official audio of her track, 'Run The World (Girls)' and you can check out her speech in full here:
