STS-114 Trailer Video

[Chris Bergin]

Just a note that we've chosen "Dare you to move" by San Diego band Switchfoot as the 'theme' tune to the in-production STS-114 'trailer'. I'll make it available to all for free obviously. Seen bits already and it's bloody awesome!!

Their publicist said the lads in that band are huge Shuttle fans

"Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before"

Still thinking of using 'Home Again' when it returns safely?

Still thinking of using 'Home Again' when it returns safely?

Lyrics work, but would the song?

[Tahii]

Well, its certainly got an upbeat feel, and heck, even my mother likes it!

Excellent. Looking forward to it.

[NASA_LaRC_SP]

Very appropiate lyrics.

So what's the deal, are you just going to use this song or are you asking the people who have the rights? Also are there any examples of how you're going to do this?

I'm in talks with Switchfoot's management about permissions and then I'll talk with the very talented guy that did this:

OMG those are STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen the full version of that Columbia tribute and it's the best visual thing I've ever seen associated with the Shuttle Program. Utterly brilliant.
