RUSH's 'Countdown' To Wake Up Space Shuttle Crew Tomorrow
May 23, 2011, 13 years ago
A one-minute, edited clip of RUSH'S 'Countdown', from 1982's Signals album, will be beamed to the Space Shuttle Endeavour tomorrow, Tuesday, May 24th - which happens to be Victoria Day in Canada (the historical date - Queen Victoria's actual birthday, not the official holiday).
It will be played as the wake-up music for the Shuttle crew, specifically at the request of Mission Specialist Mike Fincke at approximately 7 PM (CDT) and you can watch it live on NASA TV at this location
It will also likely be included as part of the Flight Day 10 highlights to be shown around noon on the following day. This is the final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour (mission STS-134) and the second to last Space Shuttle mission (STS-135 will be the last and is scheduled for July).
