There are two new contenders for the list.  I haven't heard it, but William Shatner has a new song on his latest album called "Beam Me Up".  He just had his debut at the Grand Ole Opry performing with Jeff Cook of the group Alabama:

Ariana Grande has a song on her new album called NASA:

Rush also has Cygnus X-1 which I think qualifies

You can add this new song by Brian May called New Horizons about the mission of the same name:

As soon as I saw this thread - this came to mind -

Star Trekking by The Firm.

A filk song arrives in an NSF thread!...engendering either the excitement, horror, or indifference of the membership. :D

Something obscure perhaps - Hawkwind Spiral Galaxy 28948
Not bad although the first 30 seconds is a bit weird... Well alright it’s all weird but I like it…

My optimistic hope is that it will become cool to really think about things... rather than just doing reactive bullsh*t based on no knowledge (Brian Cox)

For me, these two, from two Strausses, by way of a Kubrick;

Also sprach Zarathustra, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Thus Spake Zarathustra (One of those names or all, I'm not sure);




Blue Danube Waltz;





And, honerable mention - "Great Gig In The Sky" by Pink Floyd.  Its not necessarily space related (theme is dying) but its great, sounds spacey and its got a spacey name.

I'll look at the list in a moment, but I'll tell y'all now -- I can't take it serious if Starset doesn't show.


EDIT:  Yep, they blew that call.

Some fine choices have been covered already, but here's one that should be played at maximum volume on a full home quad system...
Montrose--Space Station #5.
