NASA's Playlist for the Mars Rover Mission

Posted by michael on from the crank-it-up-a-notch dept.

TaddyPorter writes "'It has become somewhat of a NASA tradition that during missions to space a wake-up song is played at the beginning of each day's mission.' Over at atsnn.com a NASA Mars mission manager contributed their playlist. What's even more interesting is what song has been played and why, for instance, when NASA lost communications S.O.S by ABBA was played and when the system experienced a flash problem the Flash Gordon theme song by Queen was used."

    I wonder if they keep such a diverse collection of music on legally-bought CDs, or just Kazaa for the song of the day?
