Oi, that's almost too many to process, or at least sort through Dick! That's going to take a while.

Thanks to everyone that contributed. I'm trying to go through the suggestions and give a listen, and add them to the list as I have time. As noted above, the intent here is generate a space-themed playlist, so hopefully they'll all tracks I can then download later.

Yeah, I was going to say something other than just giving the link....but I overloaded

What's up? :wink:

So...you've heard of them? Lol

That's the first time I've seen a vid of 4 non Blondes.... :/

The Major Tom one reminds me of:

Bowie's in Space by Flight of the Conchords (lyric sample: phasers on funky!)

 

[dr wogz]

Sky rockets in flight..
Afternoon delight..
Ahh Ahh Afternoooooooon delight!!

The original or the Ron Burgundy rendition.. either way, the ear worm has been planted..

I haven't heard any of the songs, but Model Rocket's name and album cover deserve a mention.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Rocket Scientists https://www.progarchives.com/google...#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=rocket scientists&gsc.page=1

I came across this one just over a month ago via Colin Furze's 2 Million Subscribers "Giant Rocket Powered Firework Wheel" video.
The lyrics aren't quite "Rocketry" related, but... :headbang:

"Fat Old Punks" by March to the Grave.

When the Ms is about to launch, this is what typically comes to her mind (and starts humming): guns n roses, rocket queen

Would not play the song at an outing with children, however ��

 

[Winston]

What about "Chuff the tragic rocket"?

[video=youtube;eeF_DvkMZjo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeF_DvkMZjo[/video]

That's hilarious. A combination ultra-long duration motor and blast deflector melter.

But they also did this - kids build an oddroc from gov't surplus parts and fly it to what looks like Jupiter:

Paul Kantner's album Blows Against the Empire centered around the hijacking of a starship by freedom fighters and was nominated for a Hugo.

From the album celebrating the lunar landing - year: 1969
Not finding a good audio from NASA, they made their own Saturn V lift off sound......
