In that same interview with Buzz Aldrin, White comes across as fascinated with space, and the idea that humans have visited the moon. He also reveals that he'd like to organise the first record to be played in space, saying:
"We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player, and possibly that Carl Sagan record, and figure out a way to drop the needle with all that turbulence up there and ensure that it will still play."
Aldrin mentions that he could hook White up with the CEO of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic company, so who knows, White's dream might even become reality someday.
