Alan Jackson, Aaron Tippin, Or Willie Nelson Could Wake Astronauts
A song by Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, or Aaron Tippin could be a part of the next Space Shuttle mission. NASA is allowing the public to pick two tunes that will be used as wakeup songs during the flight. The 40 songs under consideration have served in this capacity before. Jackson's "Where I Come From" is faring the best among the three country entries with eight-thousand-138 votes, or zero-point-six-percent of the vote. It's currently in tenth place, and ahead of such hits as The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun," REO Speedwagon's "Time For Me To Fly," Elton John's "Rocket Man," and Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon." However, Tippin's "Big Boy Toys," with 724 votes, and Nelson's "On The Road Again," with 583 votes, aren't doing quite as well in the poll. The winning songs will be revealed during the Space Shuttle mission, which is scheduled to begin on November 1st.
Leading the pack is Alexander Courage's "Star Trek" theme song with nearly 426-thousand-700 votes, which is just over 29-percent of the vote. Currently in second place is Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride," with just under 359-thousand 200 votes or 24-point-five-percent of the vote. To cast a vote visit https://songcontest.nasa.gov. |
