Again, Akira Ifukube. Well known by Godzilla fans for his stunning scores.

Here is some music someone posted of some of what Ifukube made.

Anyone notice Hans Zimmer's music from The Dark Knight was used in NASA's Shuttle tribute video narrated by Shatner? I thought it was a great fit. I love Zimmer's work and his counterparts like John Williams, Alan Silvestri, etc.

I love the epic soundtrack themes and think they go great with space videos. Some favorites:

NASA also used the main titles from Star Trek: First Contact for the scene showing the launch of Discovery on STS-26. Very appropriate and very cool!!!!

They also used the track "Flight Into Space" from the Moonraker score for the scenes on MIR, also very cool!!!!

I need some help identifying some music from the Atlantis tribute video that NASA released during STS-132 and updated for STS-135.

Specifically, I would love to know what song is playing during the last two minutes during the segment that talks about the 2009 STS-125 Hubble repair mission and the closing shot as Atlantis ascends skyward.

I badly need this song on my iPhone so I stop obsessively bringing up the video to hear it and watch...

Thanks for any help.

Jan Hammer's music was heard in an old video I saw as a child titled Space Scapes. This link is to the song played in the part of Space Scapes when the space shuttle launches sequences start. A fitting theme.

The theme from Star Trek 2009 would also work well.

And also this theme from the same movie

The theme from When We left Earth really fits.

The Ventures Journey to the Stars

Now this hasn't been used as real space music but it definitely should be.

This song Major Tom would fit. Given it's lyrics.

I swear the 2nd solo in that thing, whether studio or Gilmour's live renditions (say, P.U.L.S.E.) is *the* most epic solo in the universe.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #76 on:** 09/13/2011 05:29 pm »

Absolutely!

Strangely, the first time I heard it was via his self-confessed understudy, John Petrucci of Dream Theater, after they did a version live once. It was very good, but not even close to Gilmour when I searched for the original.

Different class, stunning.

I think that (c)rap, trance, and such "music" are the best for spaceflight since they will inspire people to rapidly get as far away as possible from the tuneless racket.

David Lange - Return Of The Comet with Mars Rising (1985)

Was and is still my favorite space music...still available as mp3 download

I'm absolutely loving Noel Gallagher's new album, post-Oasis split.

Very good "on orbit" music. Imagining camera shots from the ISS with these playing. Plus he's from Northern England, so win win
