The wakeup song has been a part of the space program since the days of the Apollo missions. The National Aeronautics and Space Program (NASA) has launched NASA’s Space Rock, a contest to help select the two wakeup songs to be played during the 133rd (and final) flight (STS-133) of the Space Shuttle Program! The two songs with the most votes will be played during the STS-133 mission. There are two ways to participate.
Vote on NASA’s Top 40 Previous WakeupSongs. Listen to and vote on your favorite song from a list of 40 previously played wakeup songs.
Write a Song and Submit Your Own Original Work. Submit your original song by January 10, 2011. Entries will be screened by our NASA panel. The top entries will then be posted on their website for a public vote starting on February 8, 2011.
I’ve narrowed my choices to these songs:
Free Fallin
Good Day Sunshine
Here Comes The Sun
Learning to Fly
Magic Carpet Ride
Over the Rainbow
Rocket Man
Roll With It
Start Me Up
What a Wonderful World

Make a day of it at the Pike Place Market Fruit Festival, July 25, 2010. The fun starts at 10:00 a.m. Get there early to enjoy activities–be sure to catch the “Iron Chef” competition at NOON, and then break for lunch. In the afternoon, shop for the season’s best locally grown fruits and veggies before you head home. There will also be plenty of live entertainment. Look for tents lining the west side of Pike Place Market between Pike and Pine Streets.
The highlights of the day is sure to be the friendly “Iron Chef”-style competition between Josh Green of the Virginia Inn and Chef Ron Anderson of Etta’s Seafood who will vie for the title of “Master of the Market.” Each chef will be presented with two secret ingredients at noon. They will then have 20 minutes and $25 to shop from farmers in a mad-dash for ingredients. After the shopping spree they’ll return to the cooking tent to create, in 45 minutes, a dish of their choice. Upon presentation of each creation, judges will merit each based on originality, taste and presentation.
