When not staging moon landings and battling aliens, the space geeks at NASA clearly have their hands full. That would explain why they can fire off an astronaut into space, but can't manage to send an iPod with them.


NASA Asks Public for Final Shuttle Missions' Wakeup Songs

HOUSTON — If you like music, the space program and are a little nostalgic, NASA has the perfect opportunity for you. For the first time, the public can help choose songs to wake up the astronauts during the last two scheduled space shuttle missions.

Traditionally, the songs played to wake up the astronauts are selected by friends and family of the crews. For the last two scheduled missions, NASA is inviting the public to visit the "Wakeup Song Contest" website to select songs from a list of the top 40 previous wakeup calls or to submit original tunes for consideration. To vote or submit a song, visit: https://songcontest.nasa.gov

The two songs with the most votes from the top 40 list will be played as crew wakeup calls on the final scheduled flight of space shuttle Discovery. Discovery's STS-133 mission is targeted to launch on Nov. 1.

LISTEN:

The Replacements - "Wake Up"

Contest over, I win. Now where is my free trip to space camp? That's what I win, right?
