Head into Space with Artemis II on an Echoes Journey to the Moon
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, are circling the moon on the Artemis II rocket, heading to the dark side tonight. It’s been 50 years since humans have been up there. NASA usually feeds the astronauts music like Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To the Moon,” Elton John’s “Rocket Man” and lots of country music. All good stuff, but we’ve got a different sound, music you’d want to hear while watching the stars, looking at planet Earth from a distance of nearly 239,000 miles, and contemplating humanity’s place in the universe. John Diliberto is your Flight Director at Mission Control tonight, with a soundtrack that includes Jean-Michel Jarre, Beach House, Transponder, STS9, Poppy Ackroyd, Jefferson Starship and more. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on for a journey to the Moon from PRX.
