Vertigo In Space....

[Aardvark747]

From todays SUN...

SHUTTLE ASTRONAUTS GET VERTIGO

'They have already conquered planet earth, now U2 are conquering space too.
A track by the Irish icons was blasted up to the space shuttle Discovery, to give the astronauts a rock n roll start to the day.
Pilot James Kelly requested U2's smash hit as the first song he and the crew heard when they woke up.

The track, from the band's brilliant album HTDAAB, was beamed into the Discovery by Mission Control.
The astronauts were treated to the rousing sounds of Bono's vocals and The Edge's raucous guitar as they prepared for another day onboard.'

I thought it was a story too..

I sent this article to the news forum yesterday, and was told it may be "too old"
I then posted it in Gen Tour Diss. during the setlist list party Friday.
Saw it originally in a MTV news flash email.. Thursday...
