Queen and David Bowie are included on the Artemis II crew’s official wakeup playlist.
The four astronauts – Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen – started their 10-day mission on April 1 as they travel to the moon and back, marking the first time humans have attempted the feat in over five decades, and flight controllers have been playing a variety of tunes to help them wake up each day.
It was revealed over the weekend that Chappell Roan’s hit Pink Pony Club was on there, and now NASA has revealed the full playlist so far.
Taking to Instagram, NASA wrote: “You asked for it. Here it is. The official Artemis II wake‑up song playlist.
“Each track was selected by the Moon crew, continuing a tradition that started more than 50 years ago. Stay tuned to find out which songs they’ll choose next.”
The playlist started with Young and Sick’s Sleepyhead, followed by John Legend and Andre 3000’s collaboration Green Light.
Up next is In A Daydream by the Freddy Jones Band, before Pink Pony Club takes over.
The next few tracks include Working Class Hero (Work) by CeeLo Green, Mandissa and TobyMac’s Good Morning, and Tokyo Drifting by Glass Animals and Denzel Curry.
Rounding off the playlist are Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure, and Charley Crocket song Lonesome Drifter.
Glass Animals commented: “This is the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life ever.”
While Young and Sick wrote: “Thank you sooooo much for having me aboard!! My life will never be the same.”
Denzel Curry claimed he is now “the First Rapper Played in Space”, quipping: “To infinity and beyond muthaf***a.”
The crew previously joked about them losing signal which meant Pink Pony Club cut out before the chorus.
Commander Reid Wiseman quipped: “We were all eagerly awaiting the chorus.”
The Capsule Communicator at NASA promised they’d “try again next time”.
