METALLICA Song Headed Into Space?
August 25, 2010The Pulse of Radio reports that METALLICA's "Enter Sandman" could be one of the songs heard by the crew on the final flight of space shuttle Discovery this November, according to Gibson.com. NASA has launched a new "Wake-up Song Contest" that will allow the public to choose which songs the crew will hear on their voyage. The top two vote-getters will be used to awaken the crew during the 11-day mission.
There are 40 songs to vote from on the list, including tracks from THE BEATLES, FOO FIGHTERS, RUSH, U2, 3 DOORS DOWN, TOM PETTY, THE ROLLING STONES, STEVIE WONDER and others.
Aspiring musicians can submit their own original songs, with the winning entry to be played on the last planned shuttle mission aboard the Endeavor in February.
Endeavor commander Mark Kelly said in a statement, "Space shuttle crews really enjoy the morning wake-up music. While we don't have the best-quality speaker in the space shuttle, it will be interesting to hear what the public comes up with."
