In more recent years, astronauts still use music to signify different moments in space. <\/p>\n
Armstrong says “there’s also a long history of using songs on uncrewed missions”. <\/p>\n
She tells Newsbeat the unmanned probe Voyager mission, which went out past the edge of the solar system into deep space in 1977, had a disc containing lots of songs and sounds “representing the diversity of human experience”.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old adds that the Tesla Roadster put into space by SpaceX is programmed to play David Bowie’s Space Oddity “on loop”.<\/p>\n
Armstrong says US astronaut Christina Koch, who is part of the Artemis II crew, is very interested in “music in space”. <\/p>\n
She says the 47-year-old “found the cassette tape that they played on the Apollo 11 mission”. <\/p>\n
Koch then played it during the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing when she was on the International Space Station (ISS).<\/p>\n
During her time on the ISS in 2019 to 2020, “she learned to play a song for her husband on the keyboard for their wedding anniversary”. <\/p>\n
Koch has also been known to create playlists with her husband.<\/p>\n
The idea is each playlist is the soundtrack to a section of her journey that they both listen to, so they can feel connected despite the distance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In more recent years, astronauts still use music to signify different moments in space.
