In a recent interview with the Daily Star, the drum & bass pioneer said that "Mars is like an old fucking gaff we used to live at". The comments followed the "space race", which saw Amazon founder Jeffrey Bezos and Virgin's Richard Branson both take private trips to the edge of the earth's atmosphere last month.
