Today, the crew of Atlantis is scheduled to pack their things and prepare for their ride back to earth.
The return home will take approximately two days and then after their landing, the US Space Shuttle Program will be no more.
It’s kind of sad in a way. In many ways I grew up with the space shuttle program.
But luckily we have plenty of songs to that will last light years beyond that of the closed program.
I’ve been listening to a number of them the past few days and put together a list of some of my favorites. So without further ado…
13 songs for space travel:
- REM – Man on the Moon
- The Police – Walking on the Moon
- Spiritualized – Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space
- Kraftwerk – Spacelab
- Dave Matthews – Satellite
- Devo – Space Junk
- Smashing Pumpkins – Spaceboy
- Muse – Supermassive Black Hole
- Moby – We are all Made of Stars
- Lou Reed – Satellite of Love
- Frank Sinatra – Fly me to the Moon
- David Bowie – Space Oddity
- Elton John – Rocket Man
What songs would you add to the list?
Ticket to the Moon- ELO
That’s why God made the Moon. – John Elefante
That is all I could come up with for the moment.
May add more later.
Thanks Jonathan!

To the Moon- Sara Groves
