We had loads of fun with songs featuring the Moon over on the Kickstater page as the clock ticked down to our funding success.

So how about an official or unofficial song/theme for say the official launch (obviously we want to hear the 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 BLAST OFF) :-) so it could be played pre-launch or even better a song that belts out from LM1 itself whilst on the Moon :-)

Get your suggestions and links in...maybe we can have a pre-lim vote on which one we'd favour?

Here's a few to get ya started which I kinda like...

ELO Ticket to the Moon


DAVE STEWART (of the Eurythmics) One Way Ticket to the Moon


JOE COCKER 'With a Little Help from my Friends'


or how about a Paul McCartney sung song (as he's a member too)
THE BEATLES 'Across the Universe'

Obviously it should be 'Fly Me to the Moon.' by Frank sinatra

*sings*
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on
Jupiter and Mars :)


I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. [/size]

Fab suggestions! It's no good, I'm starting a Spotify playlist just for us Luminauts...will post it here when I'm done!

As for my suggestion for the theme tune, well...remember how Blur wrote a bespoke tune for Beagle 2? I'd love something like that :)

Hi Stavy obviously I thought about that one (it's a great and as you say obvious one...which does not mean it shouldn't be choosen) was going for a few that were a little different and quirky...ofc there's also 'Blue Moon', 'Under the Moon of Love', 'Moon River' :-)

Hi Angela, it will be fun to see what you come up with on this list and your suggestion is a good one...An original piece from Sir Paul McCartney perhaps?

I quite like Professor Stephen Hawking's rendition of Monty Python's Galaxy Song.

"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
Dr. Carl Sagan
