What are you gonna play when starship launches orbital?

What song are you gonna play when starship launches orbital? 

My pick: space truckin by deep purple in a tie with mars by Gustav Holtz 

(We're probably gonna just listen to the commentary (me included), but still, I'm interested what you want to listen to when it launches.)

I'm not really going to play anything, and neither is almost everyone else, this is more of a thought experiment.

I will hopefully be hearing roaring Raptors, think I have to drive there.

Well, did sh*ttyflute (name of the youtuber and mentioned in the NASA registers, forum) do his version of Starman? That would be my pick

I'm gonna get together with @taterand stream the ESA purple neon animated whatever nonsense it is they're putting out during the show.

In stereo 

Because Covid isn't bad enough

Unfortunately, looks like he hasn’t gotten to that yet. He did do Life on Mars, though! (I’d say something about how bad it is, but if you clicked that link you knew exactly what you were in for.)

As for me, I’m just gonna listen to the commentary, whatever rocket audio they give, and presumably the cheers or groans of the team. They’ll probably have something by Test Shot Starfish playing during the orbit* anyway.

*Not really in orbit, or maybe it is, whatever.

I will listen to an Earth-shattering KA-BOOOMMM!!!

Alternatively, I will be hearing only myself, yelling "THEY DID IT!!!" again and again.

[MKI]

I ain't playing anything until it comes backs and lands.

 

Otherwise I'll be waiting to hear some form of explosions ;P

Take one down,
Launch it around.

You beat me to it! (Though... I must admit I am extremely tempted to drive down there. It would "only" be a ~6.5 hour drive, so doing a daytrip is theoretically possible, and if it happens on Saturday when I don't have classes... well, we'll see.)

You're talking about the Masters of Scrubbing, at the mercy of Upper-Level Winds, and other shenanigans.

For All Mankind has its realism problems, but as pure entertainment (not a realistic representation of spaceflight) I think it is good, and it turned this into the American super heavy launch vehicle launch song for me.

It is pretty impressive this will be the first launch of a "real" (I know the Shuttle can count, but whereas Energia could actually swap out the orbiter for a different heavy payload, the Shuttle was stuck "carrying itself" and thus I don't think it should count within the context of my comment) super heavy lift launch vehicle since 1988- 33 years! That's like waiting from 1945 to 1978 to fly four engined aircraft again (assuming all heavy bombers are completely retired when the war ends and people go back to boats, trains, and DC-3s/Boeing Clipper flying boats and such assorted historical long distance means of travel).

Before someone else pikes on: Falcon Heavy narrowly edged into NASA's SHLV weight category.

I think, I will wait for a video montage of Starship launches with happy tree music.

Oh of course, who would want to miss John Inspruker say "norminal Starship launch"

[tomf]

I can't believe no-one yet has mentioned sunrise from also sprack Zarathustra or the blue Danube waltz (2001's music)
