NASA running contest to pick final wake-up songs for shuttle crews!

[torchbearer]

Found out from this video: http://thebubble.msn.com/video/?id=724ab037-d0a9-f8d7-b3bc-69bc2b0c8d12
explaining "hide your wife, hide your children" is on the leading list. the host seems to be asking people to contribute or this is our fate.



The wakeup song has been a part of the space program since the days of the Apollo missions, and now NASA is giving you two chances to be a part of this history! We need your help selecting wakeup songs to be played during the final missions of the Space Shuttle Program!

we should get an aimee allen on there.
not sure if we can submit it, or if she needs to submit it.
you have to submit your own material, so i think we'd need to get in touch with aimee so that she could submit the song.

I voted for Rush.

I haven't read anywhere how long these missions will be, but it could be up to a week each, so they'd need around 12 songs.
personally, i think they should keep using the shuttle. the orion is costing too much.

I mean. if the current fleet is getting too old, make new shuttles.
we have an entire system already in place for shuttle launches.

or they could start different classes of space vessels by purpose.
shuttles could be used for earth orbit missions.

orion could be used for solar system exploration by manned mission.

anyone know how to get in touch with aimee allen?
we could easily get her song in the top 10.
she would only need 5000 online votes to get there.

Voted for Magic Carpet Ride.

Voted for Magic Carpet Ride.

I haven't voted yet, but most of those songs have already been used as wake-up songs in the past.

edit: actually, all the songs on the list are there because they were used on previous missions. there are no addition submissions listed yet.
