I wonder why Space Oddity wasn't nominated.

I wonder why Space Oddity wasn't nominated.

These are songs that have already been played as wakeup songs on previous shuttle missions. I'm also surprised Bowie's Space Oddity isn't on that list. Or Peter Schilling's Major Tom (I'm Coming Home).

Trekkies must be stuffing the ballot box. Star Trek theme is pulling away at #2.

If U2 isn't played in space, the aliens might wind up Coldplay fans instead.

Speaking of U2 and NASA, anybody seen this yet?

NASA - Multimedia - Video Gallery

NASA and U2 released a commemorative video highlighting a year's worth of collaboration in space and on the Irish rock band's 360 Degree tour. U2 approached NASA in 2009 with an idea to include a dialogue between the band and the crew of the International Space Station during U2's world tour.

Yes, because as an astronaut, hurtling around the globe in a tinfoil and glass enclosure, I want to wake up to a song about an astronaut losing contact with Mission Control, never getting to see his wife ever again, and most likely asphyxiating.
