Rock in Space

So NASA has launched a contest to pick the songs that will be played to the astronauts on the last two shuttle missions. Kool.

Apparently. The playing of wake up music for the astronauts goes back all the way to the Apollo missions. The music helps with camaraderie and a connection to home according to a few former spacemen.

If you want to vote. You can go here and choose from the list. The songs must be songs that have been played on previous flights. Shame. I can think of a few really good tunes that aren't on this list.
