Interesting tidbit: Little green DJ
February 27, 2004
  You can say a lot about NASA, but one thing they certainly are is eclectic. Space.com features the playlist of de Spirit and Opportunity mars rovers. Each of these songs is played at the start of a martian day (which is called a sol).
Some highlights fom Spirit:
- Sol 2: Good Morning, Good Morning, by the Beatles.
- Sol 8: Soak Up the Sun, by Cheryl Crow. (Laid-back sol.)
- Sol 12: Born to be Wild, by Steppenwolf; Rawhide, by Riders in the Sky; Who Let The Dogs Out?, by the Baha Men. (Egress.)
- Sol 17: We Will Rock You, by Queen. (First arm activities and observations on a rock.)
- Sol 28: On the Road Again, by Willie Nelson. (”Can’t wait to get back on …”, back to normal use of the flash file system, itching to get going.)
- Sol 37: Proud Mary, performed by Tina Turner. (”And we’re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river …”, first long drive, ended up being more than 20 meters.)
- Sol 45: Touch Me in the Morning, by Diana Ross. (Touch and go sol.)
- Sol 50: Samba De Marte, by Beth Carvalho. (Brazilian song written by same artist inspired by use of previous song on MPF, this one is a “Mars Samba”, also for Carnival weekend. Starts off “Hello NASA!”.)
