Country music’s Willie Nelson, will hopefully be back in outer space.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration asks the public to vote for their favorite song in the top 40 songs found on their website. The top 40 songs are from the previous music list that NASA played in their past mission as wake-up call for the astronauts in flight.
The wake-up song, NASA’s website said, has been part of the space program since the Apollo missions. Before, only family members and the astronauts themselves are allowed to pick the songs. But they are now giving the public a chance to vote for their favorite song from their Top 40 list and yes, Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” is on that list. Other artists on the list are Elton John, Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett and a lot more. The two songs with most number of votes will be played on space on STS- 133 Mission with expected launch date of November 11, 2010.
The music from the Star Trek series is currently number one with Willie still below the chain. Not too late for Willie’s fans though, you can still vote until the target launch date.
You can vote for Willie or forother favorites in NASA‘s website.
