It’s the one kind of cheesy thing we all listen for each day of a shuttle mission: the wake up song. With only a few space shuttle missions left on the manifest, NASA has decided to enlist the help of the public to help choose the songs that will wake up the astronauts for STS-133 – currently scheduled for a November 1, 2010 launch — and STS-134, slated to launch on February 26, 2011. Not only can you choose from previously played popular songs, but those of you musically inclined can write a song and submit it.
See the NASA website for more details.
The deadline is January 10, 2011.
Magic Carpet Ride would be a great choice. 🙂
“Walking on the moon” by Sting.

“One More Astronaut”
by I Mother Earth
Unfortunately not a choice on Nasa’s website.
Jimi’s Star Spangled Banner should be the Standard!!
Solsbury Hill
Children of the Sun
Switching to Glide
The theme from Roger Ramjet
The theme from The Jetsons…Lost in space…My Favorite Martian… I dream of Jeannie…
There is only one choice, The Final Countdown.
There’s only one tune appropriate for a space mission: Space March (Capsule In Space).
