   Nice version of Bowie's song, competently done, from the ISS.

BUT!...If you have never seen the otherwise bad movie,
"Mission to Mars" starring Gary Sinise, there is an awesome
dance /music sequence in ZERO-G in it, that women really like,
done to that GREAT Van Halen song, "Dance the Night Away".
Download that youtube portion of that movie and listen to it
with your squeeze.
Perhaps your girfriend or wife will be converted into a spaceflight
enthusiast as a result, if she isn't already.
So VAN HALEN rocks in Zero-G!

Barry Gray's 'Sleeping Astronaut' - used here as a tribute for his frequent collaborator; the great Gerry Anderson.

 Moonlight Sonata.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

The Maryland / DC based band. "drumfish" wrote a song called "Earthworms". Attached is a fan video of the song using the theme of man's determination to fly.... to explore the unknown...  and to rise above the petty limitations of our earth bound existence.  YOUTUBE LINK:

Hadn't realized just how great a space song "Never Let Me Down Again" is, by one of my favorite bands and one of the best groups to come out of England, Depeche Mode.

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

Like "Sweetest Perfection", this is more likely about heroin.  (Love that Isetta in the video though!)

My favorite launch music these days is "Take to the Sky" by Van Canto:

Interesting, I"d never heard them before thanks! NOT the "Take to the Sky" I was expecting :)
Mark Mercury; "Take to the Sky!" for the English version of Captain Harlock:


Seriously for some reason I've always pictured a launch "sequence" when I hear "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish:


The various dynamic changes in the music seem to represent various points in the flight.... Of course being one of the few songs that is actually almost 10 minutes long (average launch to oribt time) helps as well :)

Elton John's "Rocket Man":



I tried finding a YouTube copy of Willian Shatner's 2011 version of "Rocket Man". Most of the other songs on that space-themed album, "Seeking Major Tom" are there, but this song apparently was hunted down and brutally devoured by his painfully awful 1978 rendition of "Rocket Man". He still can't sing, but he talks rock songs surprisingly well these days. Well, here's "Struggle" from the same album to give you a feel for what's on it:

Hmmm, here's some space themed "ambient music". The style basically emphasizes tone and atmosphere over structure and  rhythm with lots and lots of synthesizer. It's classic planetarium music.

Jon Hallur Haraldsson, known also as Real-X, wrote a lot of space-themed background (and opening scene) music for the massively multiplayer online (MMO) computer game Eve Online. Here's "Doomed Forever", which I believe is his most popular piece:



And "New Moon" is another really good piece:



He has about 60 such pieces of varying quality that he wrote for Eve Online. All are titled in a way that fits with the grand themes of the game (space travel, hypercapitalism, and never ending conflict between radically different cultures).

While I don't know much about M83 (which is apparently another single musician ambient music band with support), a workplace friend played some good stuff from them this winter. M83 among other things provided the music for the movie, Oblivion. From that movie album, there's "Starwaves".



Vangelis, who was already mentioned here by Elmar Moelzer, has some stuff which is part of the genre.

"Seeking Major Tom"

Ahh speaking of though I'm pretty sure it's been "done" already, Peter Schilling, Major Tom/Coming Home:

You can put anything spaceflightish to this song.

 Training Montage by Vince Dicola-Rocky IV.





The actual movie version sounds a bit different, and has such a Cold War feel, obviously with the CCCP references and characterizations of the Soviets of the day(correct or incorrect as it may be).
